Abstract
Esta historia tiene tres direcciones que se encaminan a un mismo punto: nuestro alejamiento de la naturaleza originaria como lugar del que surge el pensamiento mitológico de los seres humanos. Utilizamos como actores sobre nuestro escenario un concepto, el mito, un canal, el asombro, y una manifestación que, en este caso, es doble: las series Augurs and Soothsayers y Odin’s Cove, de la fotógrafa californiana Beth Moon. Con ellos, intentamos comprender tanto la resignificación del mito a través de sus mismos símbolos ancestrales, como su nuevo papel contribuyendo a la creación de sociedades sostenibles también desde dimensiones que no son meramente materiales, que no solo afectan a los recursos físicos.
