Tonantzin

Tonantzin (2024)

To be only life, or only death. Both feel the same.

Latinofuturism composed of personal and documentary archives. What would happen if, instead of being fertilized by a feather that fell from the sky, Coatlicue were fertilized by a Mayfly? Huitzilopochtli would not be born from the womb, but a new Goddess, a new human species mingled with the world of insects. The Mexica believed that death was the beginning of another life, and therefore new humans die and are reborn to the rhythm of the sun.
