Everything We Share Remains in Fumaroles

In a collaborative artwork, the artist duo explores their profound, amorphous connection through walking and breathing meditations on the volcanic terrain of active Mt. Vesuvius. The volcano and the artists’ bodies are understood as living, resonating entities that continuously release energy in their own rhythms. The tension between calmness and destruction reflects forms of interpersonal and more-than-human relationships.

Walking, ascending, breathing, exhaustion, and moments of pause form the core of the work with an emphasis on the embodied knowledge gained through physical experience. By using a geophone, the volcano’s otherwise inaudible vibrations and subterranean movements become audible within the installation. These experiences explore relationality as a practice of movement, presence, and attentiveness to hidden processes and invisible forces. At the same time, complicity becomes both method and subject and is understood as a relational practice of alignment, negotiation, and shared responsibility between human and more-than-human actors.
