Atlas of Ovens: Fire, Smoke and Dust
How and what do we fire, with whom do we share the resulting warmth ? With Clémentine Vaultier and Maximiliaan Royakkers, we research how oven infrastructures can transform not only matter, but also our relationships to communities and territories. This results in different interventions and an Atlas of Ovens.
On this page, you can find one intervention, exhibited in the framework of Radiator, a show in 019 Ghent on stoves.
It is a collage of archive images, presented on the big wall in the back of the 019 building. Visual links weave together illustrations of how to make fire, of the conduction of heat and smoke, of smoking food and communicating with smoke, the functioning of wind and chimneys, the destruction of chimneys, the problems of smog, etc.
