M3: Treatise on Imaginary Explosions

Caitlin Berrigan

Sažetak

Volcanoes are landscapes of exhilaration and annihilation. Awe-inspiring and beautiful, they are also geological forces with the potential to destroy. And yet human forms of violence can be more devastating than a volcanic eruption. The following are excerpts from Treatise on Imaginary Explosions, vol. I, an artist’s book that wanders between the time-scales of geological metamorphosis and landscapes of human trauma. It is an experiment in sequential, narrative poetry about affective geologies and the idea of becoming mineral. Sparse, material language combines with charcoal drawings based on the non-photographic, 3D topographical data of Eyjafjallajökull from the National Land Survey of Iceland. A whole view of the volcano is never depicted. Instead, the reader drifts through prismatic and imperfect dimensional descriptions. The result is a fractured spatial landscape of events.
