With ‘eruption’, media and photo artist Michael Najjar showcases the explosive power and transformative energy of volcanoes. Taking the eruptions of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in March 2021 as his starting point, the artist explores geological processes between destruction, renewal and creation. His works invite us to view the Earth as a living organism in which the forces of nature, climate change and human intervention interact within a complex interplay of forces.

The Austrian Institute for Photography and Media Art – EIKON and the SpallArt Collection cordially invite you to attend as part of EIKON’s thematic focus ‘Picture Politics | The Politics of Images’.
