Anais Tondeur, Alliaria petiolata 1, Canale dei Regi Lagni, Acerra Fine Art Giclée print from Phytography Edition of 10, 18 x 13 cm
Interweaving photography and ecology, botany and philosophy, this project is developed in companionship with ruderal plants in extreme soils of the Anthropocene: the Terra dei Fuochi and the volcanic area of Vesuvius, in the Naples region. Cultivated during an artist’s residency at Spot Home Gallery, Naples, under the guidance of scientists and inhabitants of the land, Fiori di Fuoco takes the form of a correspondence between Tondeur, the philosopher Michael Marder, and communities of plants which -in Roman times before the eruption of Vesuvius -cured people, and today participate in the healing of soils marked by the incineration and burial of toxic waste in the depths of the Terra dei Fuochi.
