Publisher Note
Chiara Indelicato, photographer and native of Stromboli, explores in her work life on a volcanic island where the inhabitants live with an acute awareness of a finite world, at the mercy of the elements. Beneath the ashes, between the sea and the fire, she asks how to live in an environment with limited resources.
Pelle di Lava is inspired by two disasters that occurred in 2022: a fire that devastated the island's vegetation, followed by torrential rains that caused mudslides that reached the village.
With this project, Chiara Indelicato proposes a reflection on the climate emergency, asserting an animistic relationship with nature and the right to defend this living, fragile land, for which the volcano itself becomes the spokesperson. Developing her images with coffee, vitamin C and seawater, without polluting agents, she weaves an organic link between her process and the harsh, untameable island.
