Tonatiuh echoes from Sun, is a video project that has won one of the honorable mentions at the 2016 Luminous Video Art Festival in Mexico, which relates the concept of cosmo-genesis to the first beliefs about the creative capacity of sound and the relationship between sonority and creation.

The piece reviews the relationships that the human race has made over millennia between the Sun, the cult of the gods and the sound-musical relationships that these imply. Every great civilization has worshiped the Sun. In Sumerian mythology we will find UTU, in Egyptian mythology we find RA, in Greek mythology HELIOS appears, in Inca culture INTI will appear, in Japanese AMATERASU, or in Aztec TONATIUH. All these civilizations have dealt with the concept of creating totems or representative images of the Sun God.

 

With this work, it is shaped through the sounds generated by the Sun and are shown thanks to the acoustic science of cymatics in the form of wave patterns, on a fluid, acquiring a spatial dimension and a direct relationship between sonority and morphology. .
