The project »ratio« illustrates the amount of metal in ore.
Each object within the series consists of two main parts – the metal ore and the amount of metal which could be extracted from it.
By making data tangible, the project highlights the fact that it takes a great amount of stone (as well as additional other materials) to turn it into a pure metal.
