How To Burn All Your Ikea Crap Without Matches Or A Lighter

The film, called FLAMMA (A Basic Need), is by Dutch artist Helmut Smit.

FLAMMA harks back to one of humanity’s basic needs: making fire. I thought it would be interesting to go into IKEA as if I was a primitive human being and make fire using products found there. The project also fits the back-to-basics image of IKEA and the Swedish lifestyle. IKEA does not, however, sell lighters or matches.
