Burn the mountain. Half of it will go up to the air, the other half stays on the ground. The human agents and the Earth: the invisible clock of matter stains our hands.
This work investigates the combustion and the transformation of matter on the surface of the land. The project initiated during a residence program at Akiyoshidai International Art Village, in Japan, 2007, when I filmed an annual cremation of the Akiyoshidai Plateau. Later, the photographic and super8mm images joined an investigation of the burning of Carbon in the Terra Una artist in residence program, in Minas Gerais, 2011.
