The Repatriation of the Stones
2010

On July 24th, 2006, I removed 24 stones from the pebbled beach at Lulworth Cove in Dorset, England.

On May 9th, 2010, in an attempt to assuage my guilt, I returned them.

“Repatriation is only a supplementary subterfuge, in order to make out as though nothing had happened, and to indulge in a retrospective hallucination.”
