Insolite sounds like a name of a stone but it isn’t, it means odd, unusual.
A series of images, from today and 1944’s last eruption from Mount Vesuvius mingle together, following no specific narrative. It becomes an enumeration of places in high tension, under surveillance and covered in lava. Is the mountain living or is it fear that creates the illusion of underground tremors?
