The work process of the Floor is Lava requires sourcing, collecting and cleaning trash, which turns it into an object in which the intimate circumstances of lives of inhabitants and their societies relation to waste can be seen as well as the way they are treating the weakest of their society. In this process, a collective work is produced in which workers and their bodies become part of the recycling chain. In this way, the environmental concern and societal context intertwine and turn the mountains of Floor is Lava into a powerful political landscape. 

Each of the Floor is Lava mountain is different, since the installation 

always adapts to its surrondings – the material and the site specific aspects of it’s current location.
