Lava, Fire, Flames And Smoke,

pour from a window,

 covering all before it,

 a scene from Dante's Inferno perhaps?

 but no,

 it is a trick of light, smoke and paper!

 as part of the recent LLUÈRNIA festival of light and fire in Catalonia, collaborators David Oliva of SP25 Arquitectura and Anna Juncà of Atelier 4 created this spectacular flow of lava using common fortune teller origami figures,

 over 10,000 folded pieces of paper were needed to create the work that was illuminated from underneath and further brought to life with smoke machines,

titled simply “Origami Lava,” the piece was affixed to an abandoned building in Olot, a town surrounded by dormant volcanoes, what an illusion, paper, smoke and lights, it looked in the first few photographs so real.
