Tromü (o un studio para un volcán) Author: Victoria Sayago and Bruno Stecconi Tromü means cloud in mapuche* language. A volcano becomes active and emits not lava but ashes so the inmense Patagonia is transformed. What is beautiful and tragic blends into a record that far from mummifying perhaps sublimes the openness of time and its transformations. The tragedy is only an instant in time, a man a point in space and life is in every particle, above all things, as a question form. *The word Mapuche is used both to refer to the original inhabitans of southwestern Argentina and southcentral Chile and to the language they speak.
