This book takes up abstract geology as a complementary perspective to think strata as a concept derived from geology and made operational in the human realm in the arts and in knowledge development. Strata – Geophilosophical Notes on Sérgio Costa –more than anything else– is the encounter of the German theatre-maker and philosopher Alexander Gerner with the Mozambique born visual artist Sérgio Costa, both based in the Portuguese capital and cultural contact zone Lisbon.

In Strata – Geophilosophical Notes on Sérgio Costa Alexander Gerner presents an atlas of friendship between philosophy, science, art and human technology by taking as a starting point an observational program presented in the painting series “Strata” and other working images of the artist Sérgio Costa.

A book is a paper strata
