The Crystal Fire, VI

The Crystal Fire, VI
Christina Labey

The Crystal Fire, VI is a collection of observations, made via photographs, archival material, and borrowed text, that highlight the similarities of Mount Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei, and the Moon. The book navigates through a myriad of interconnected references, from NASA’s Apollo Project to the deity Apollo—who is ubiquitously represented throughout the region in monuments, such as the Temple of Apollo in Pompeii. The result is a fragmented narrative of these beautiful, yet volatile, volcanic landscapes that are harbingers of both life and death.
