The Fountain of Youth mythology has forever changed the landscape of St. Augustine, Florida. Looking closely at Florida’s commodified landscape, Heat Spells visits contemporary locations that claim to be the site of the Fountain of Youth in an attempt to capture the everlasting consequences of the mythical spring and its entanglement with the origins of colonialism in the United States.
