For her edition, Leykauf arranged stones on black paper and sprayed them with white chalk spray, whose many small pigment dots resemble a printing grid. The scene was then photographed in black and white and printed on red neon paper. Background and foreground are reversed as soon as the black background is applied to the colorful paper and the previously foregrounded chalk spray appears only in its absence.
Alexandra Leykauf has also imagined personified objects in this work: Beings seated in an assembly that appears to have a fire or light bounding them in their midst, or else are illuminated from above. Imagination may create possible occasions for this gathering. In the end, Stoneage Campfire remains, through negative inversion, an image of something unprecedented in form.
