Capitalithothèque

This wiki explains a specific type of perfora-lithic anti-capitalist practice. The Capitalithothèque is a collection of stones which are sourced from capital-buildings. It contains descriptions of the stones, the method of harvesting and the buildings from which the Capitalithos were sourced..
By bringing together texts and images of this example, this wiki is also an invitation to continue the work and put into practice copy-pastes, versions, variations in different situations, places and circumstances.
