Sam Holzberg and Dominik Schmitt examine the documentary films The Fire Within by Werner Herzog and The Fire of Love by Sara Dosa, both from 2022. The films are about the work and lives of volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft and will be discussed in relation to Anne Carson's verse novel Autobiography of Red (1998).
Through the unconventional combination of image, text and sound, this lecture explores the sonic and visual space between volcanic activity and the activity of Eros.
