The volcano gate 1999 - The volcano gate panorama from Centre Regional D´Art, Sete, France, Ragna Róbertsdóttir and Finnbogi Pétursson 1999

The premise of the work is the belief in the Middle Ages that the gate to hell was through the crater of
the Hekla volcano in Iceland.


I perceive emissive noise-sound from the FM receiver to be the basic sound of the work. It is sent through a programmer which divides it into two rotating channels and forms two parallel circles around 16 loudspeakers warping the sound to Ragna Róbertsdóttir's pumice-work

Material:
16 loudspeakers, amplifiers, programmer, FM-receiver Pumice from Hekla glued directly onto the wall.
