The video shown here is a work by Canevari from 2009, entitled Burning Mein Kampf. Burning on a kitchen cooker, in its everyday use and normality, is a copy of the dreadful book written by Adolf Hitler.

The incendiary destruction wrought by Nazism and its ideology is here subjected to the action of a sort of purifying fire, a law of counterparts until the book itself is totally incinerated, in the hope that the fire will burn all the poisons and viruses that pollute the contemporary world.
