Dinner installation inspired by volcanic phenomena, followed by an optional visit to Bárbara Jasmins’ installation at Lagoa de São Brás, Geoteluric Orison of Spectral Alchemy: Gargouille.
— In collaboration with Liliana Ferreira.
The triple point where the Azores are located gives the archipelago a geological context that is fertile for volcanic activity. Although there is no primary volcanic activity today, manifestations of secondary volcanism can be experienced in various ways. Our relationship with volcanoes and the characteristics they imprint on the territory extend back to the time of the islands’ settlement, shaping the way we distribute ourselves demographically, work the land, set out to sea, enjoy the landscape, and cook food.
Geoteluric Orison of Light and Fire creates a space where these realities, gastronomy, and audiovisuals engage in a dialogue. In this dinner-installation, the senses are recruited to rediscover the food of the volcano, as the relationships with these colossi, which are windows into the interior of the Earth and establish affective landscapes between the territory and its people, are unveiled at both local and global levels.
