About the Book
Everything Flows: A tribute to water's ceaseless movement, shaping stories in stone. Laura Veschi's photographs capture this flow, echoing the creative process of sculptor Filippo Tincolini. Tradition meets innovation, as ancient skills merge with contemporary art. Everything Flows explores the interconnectedness of water, time and artistic creation. Inspired by Heraclitus' philosophy of constant flow, the book captures the essence of sculptor Filippo Tincolini's work, reflecting the continuous flow of thought and gesture from the initial concept to the finished sculpture. Water, a symbol of this perpetual movement, becomes a tangible element in Laura Veschi's photography, its 'sound' echoing the creative process and the transformation of materials. The project also highlights the enduring nature of artistic tradition, where ancient skills such as stonemasonry are reinterpreted in contemporary art. Just as water shapes stone over time, tradition influences artists like Tincolini, bridging past and present. Veschi's black and white photographs document Tincolini's journey, capturing the evolution of form and the interplay between artist, material and the silent narrative of water. Each image represents a moment in this constant transformation and celebrates the enduring power of artistic creation. Text in English, French and Italian.

Filippo Tincolini is an Italian artist. Born in 1976 in Pontedera, Tuscany, after training in numerous foundries and marble workshops in Pietrasanta, he studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara. In 2001, upon completing his studies, he opened his own studio in Fantiscritti, at the foot of the quarries, where he still produces his works today. The Carrara area, where the artist lives and works, has had a profound influence on his sculptural research, which is primarily expressed through the use of white marble, a material he approaches in an experimental way. Tincolini’s artistic approach has always been oriented towards harmoniously blending distant worlds: fine craftsmanship and high technology, tradition and visionary spirit, the canons of classical sculpture and pop influences, mythology and comics. He is currently represented by private galleries and continues to exhibit in both public and private spaces.
