Kalpetran is the title of this autobiographical work: a photograph of the artist donning folkloric alpine attire while searching for a particular stone that he was carrying around as a child one day during a holiday with his parents in the Swiss Grächen. Colson had been forced to leave this stone behind, and this performance shows him trying to retrieve this talismanic trace of a long-lost innocence – the philosopher’s stone which may well have put him on his way towards becoming an artist.
