摄影书《Zona Rossa》以维苏威火山为样本，探讨了“危险”这个概念是如何被人类社会定义、感知、再现和应对的。混合使用多种视觉材料，《Zona Rossa》从不同角度再现了维苏威火山的多重属性：它不仅是自然物，同时也是政治、宗教、历史、文化和科技的操作对象。

书的主体是一份意大利民防部于2001年发布的维苏威火山应急预案附表，该附表包括维苏威火山喷发的预警级别，红区、黄区和蓝区内的居民人口、交通情况和逃生路线规划以及灾后移居规划等内容。照片来源于陈海舒2012至2015年间对维苏威地区的数次造访拍摄。 书中的视频截图取自1944年喷发的影像资料和各种关于维苏威火山的纪录片、电影、电视剧。夹页内容截取自古罗马政治家小普林尼描写庞贝灾难的两封书信。书末的文字引用自陈海舒在维苏威地区对当地居民的采访。本书的平面设计由姜音完成。

Taking Volcano Vesuvius as sample, Haishu Chens photo book Zona Rossa discusses the question: how is the concept “danger” defined, sensed, represented and manipulated by our human society? Using different visual materials, Zona Rossa reveals the multiple characters of Vesuvius: it’s not only a natural object, but also a figure interpreted by politics, religion, history, culture and science.

The photographs of Zona Rossa resulted from Chens several trips to Vesuvius between 2012 and 2015. The background of the book is an attachment of the emergency plan of the Vesuvian area issued by the Italian Civil Protection Department in 2001, which lists out the different alarm levels of eruption of Vesuvius, the populations of the red zone, yellow zone and blue zone, the traffic situation and escape route as well as the evacuation plan after an eruption. The movie stills are from different media materials about Vesuvius such as documentaries, commercial movies and TV-Series. The text pages quote two letters written by the ancient Rome politician Pliny the younger, which described the whole eruption in 79AD and is considered to be the first document about volcano eruption in the history. The last part of the book quotes the interviews with the inhabitants of Zona Rossa by Chen.
