This black and white studio photograph, part of David Christensen's 2026 'Plattenkalk' series, presents a fragment of a lithography stone. The stone, characterized by its rough, scratched, and discolored surface, stands vertically on a flat plane. The dark background isolates the object, drawing attention to its material history and the marks of its use in the lithographic printing process.
