Fuego, Fire, Vuur

Pit Fire during Pandemic. From ancient times fire has gathered people around its transformation properties; it provides heat, food, and stories. Fire is a crucial element in the ceramic process because it transforms organic and fermenting clay into an inert crystallized material called ceramics. Pit firing is probably the first pottery firing technique known to humans. This video is a register of my first attempt, which was made in collaboration with K37 (Kunstwerkplaats Arnhem) and Ro Buur during the first lockdown in 2020.
