Kristoffer’s Bakery and Real Fantasies Books & Arts presents Corazón del cielo /Sky’s Heart, an exhibition based on photography taken during sky events, such as eclipses, storms, sunsets , the rotation and closeness of heavenly bodies. The exhibition aims to portray the sky’s own voice. The photographer, BenjamÃn Anaya will attempt to translate this voice into poetry, short tales and updated readings from the Popol Vuh, that announces some events currently happening throughout the world.
The Ancient Mayas called their Creator Sky’s Heart, that was also known as Tepeu and Gucumatz, the Great Storm Cloud or Hurricane. The Popol Vuh, sacred book of that civilization —known as original creator of the notion of Zero—, reveals this in its interpretation of their own Genesis.
Recital will include some texts written by the photographer inspired by the images (bilingual Spanish/English) As well as a performance by Benjamin Anaya and los Extranos Unidos.
