More about the book

On one side, a series of photographs document thoroughly the clash between ceramic pieces made by Alba and the persistent erosion of the sea waves on a Fuerteventura beach, until the pieces loose their shapes and all that is left is a rounded memory of its original form. On the opposite pages, we find a transcript of private conversations held by the two artists over the course of many months, marked by Pablo’s grief over the loss of a loved one and Alba’s fears and concerns about life. 
Hay un volcán encima de casa is a simple book, but nevertheless overwhelmingly poetic and honest, with both authors opening their souls and hearts for everyone to see.
The book includes a separate folded sheet insert with English translations.
