Eruption of the end

Installation

In Eruption of the end the old chimney of the Congo soap factory comes back to life. Through the images reflected in the soap bubbles that emerge from this final eruption, one can travel through memories. The chimney, a now abandoned totem, is a witness. Eruption of the end is a movement, a gesture towards a contact between us and the life of a place which has travelled through time.
