Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster. Volcanic Excursion. A Vision

it's not exactly a book ... it's a kind of folder which contains a volcanic excursion ... there is a long panorama with more than 235 characters ... humans and non-humans ... partly inspired by diego rivera's murals and inhabited by klimt's gorgons and typhoeus, among many others. there is also a booklet with an index, silhouettes, details, images. it's a kind of companion to the exhibition but also a miniature home exhibition. and this is how it all started: "... woke up in the middle of the night and had a vision. we were close to a small volcano with a gentle lava flow, the vegetation was tropical, there were hummingbirds and llamas ... my body was multiplied in several apparitions ... it was a beautiful, joyful, almost operatic crowd, like a march, a protest, an excursion ... together with marielle franco, loïe fuller and subcomandante marcos, leslie feinberg and kathy acker, chico mendes and rosa luxemburg and so many more ..."
