My friend volcano is a series of short videos based on the true story of a refugee woman dreaming of a pastry chef career, trying to get over crises and schisms in her life by means of baking. 

​

The projects explores cooking  and other tasks of daily routine as an example of our cooperation with primary elements, such as fire and water.  This intimate action of a single human being is put in a context of big, untamed natural forces in action (ocean waves and volcanic eruptions).

​

Both cakes and videos themselves develop into an authentic but slightly idealised narrative, based on the human need to channel the explosiveness of reality into the quiet, steadily moving stream of illusory constructs.
