Edition VFO Podcast 35: Julian Charrière in conversation with Prof. Paul Harris
Mar 2300:23:53Tap to summarizeRecorded on March 5, 2026, at Edition VFO in Zurich, this conversation between Julian Charrière and Prof. Paul A. Harris took place on the occasion of the book launch for After the Smoke Cradle. Reflecting on the exhibition and publication, the discussion traces Charrière’s long-standing engagement with volcanic landscapes, stone, deep time, and the material intelligence of the earth. It also addresses the development of the series of 99 photolithographs, produced in collaboration with the Zurich Print Institute and Steindruckerei Wolfensberger, in which ground volcanic matter was transformed into pigments and layered through lithographic printing. The conversation offers insight into the project’s conceptual and technical foundations, from geology and image-making to seriality, temporality, and the relation between landscape, process, and form.
