Poetic tale about the eruption of the volcano Tambora in 1815 and it’s consequences all over the world.

We are aestheticizing the global catastrophe in order to deal with the fear that has accompanied us for a long time: fear of the end of the world. This visual poem is our common dream and fear, a place where our thoughts meet. This performance is made up of crumbs that accidentally fell on the concrete - sunlit they looked like cosmic particles. The project was realized one month before the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.
