Written in Stone

Written in Stone by Polo Bourieau is an extraordinary exploration of how monumental sculpture transforms urban spaces into places of meaning and connection. From the ancient marble quarries of Carrara to the skyscrapers of Hong Kong or the bustling lanes of Chengdu, this richly illustrated book charts Polo's creative journey, offering profound insights into the dialogue between sculpture, architecture, and community. Structured as an epic narrative inspired by Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory, Polo's sculptures become the protagonists of our common narrative of adventure, transformation, and identity.
