Toy Volcano

40-45 mins. HD Video + Lecture Performance, 2019
Produced by Ashkal Alwan in the context of Homeworks Forum 8, Beirut, 2019
A video-lecture-performance that looks at the embedding of technological media artifacts and knowledge within physical landscapes and geological phenomena at large, through a fan-fiction involving portable holes, animation theory and machinic delusions. Set in the universe of a forgotten manga, the narrative of a tourism department official plays host to counterfeit theories connecting Outsider art, suspect materials and the physics of cartoons.
