Amidst the Fire, I am Not Burnt is a documentary exploration of the iconic landscape shaped by Vesuvius. It examines the various temporalities, scientific and popular perceptions, historical and contemporary photographic representations, and the stories embedded in this cyclical landscape. The book blends documentary writing and photography into a diverse constellation of subjects and experiences, ranging from abandoned quarries, archaeological sites, and memories to a parking lot, bonfires, and lovers parked along the road at night. Just as each eruption of the volcano adds a layer to the previous one, Vesuvius continues to perceive, store, destroy, shape, and transmit information.
