This limited edition print is part of an ongoing, multi-layered project encompassing performance, photography, and a series of objects created with pulverized charcoal collected from sites destroyed by wildfires around the world. The photograph was captured in what once served as someone's front yard in Paradise, CA, just months after the catastrophic Camp Fire of 2018. This devastating wildfire claimed 85 lives, displaced over 50,000 people, and obliterated more than 18,000 structures. Through this powerful image, the project explores themes of loss, resilience, and the environmental impact of wildfires on both human lives and landscapes.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Gioj De Marco’s multi-disciplinary art practice focuses on storytelling as a social grooming practice and how the plasticity of language reshapes the cultural landscape. The objects and experiences she produces are conditioned by existentialism, surrealism, 20th-century conceptual art movements, and cinema. De Marco lives and works in Los Angeles, where she is co-founder and co-director of Prospect Art, a forward thinking, not-for-profit visual arts organization.
