Resized Volcano is an artistic installation, supported by the European Cultural Center and set up in the Olona Pavilion of the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci in Milan, inaugurated on March 24, 2019.

​

The work is part of the "Volcanoes Of Light" projects, in which the artist explores the primordial force of light, and is made up of a monolith in black MDF with an octagonal base, rising 5.5 metres, with an architectural structure created in collaboration with architect Diego Repetto.

​

Upon entering Resized Volcano, Emilio Ferro's light takes centre stage: the installation houses another volcano inside, an identical scaled-down version of the external structure, from the top of which a beam of red materialised light radiates, reflecting off the top of the structure before spreading back onto the small volcano.

​

Light is followed by sound, which permeates the work with an original soundtrack that evolves over time without ever repeating itself, thanks to a dual audio system, with two different soundtracks combined through the subwoofer.

​

A 360° sensory experience envelops the viewer, transporting them to another place through the fog in which the work is immersed, combined with the heat emanating from both the internal volcano and the vibrating platform on which the installation rests.
