The descent of the celestial birds

Context

The Atta house of the Yekuanas, is the representation of the Cosmogony, its way of seeing, understanding the interpellation between the celestial and terrestrial world, this structure is made up of 8 masts, which with their walls represent the 8 dimensional that allow access to the home of Wannadi the Creator of all. The Atta is a meeting place for the community, where fundamental decisions are made, battles are planned or the celestial birds are invoked to guide the Shaman.

Geospatial topology studies the rules concerning the relationships between the points, lines, and polygons that represent the features of a geographic region. For example, where two polygons represent adjacent counties, typical topological rules would require that the counties share a common boundary with no gaps and no overlaps. Similarly, it would be nonsense to allow two polygons representing lakes to overlap.

Proposal

Is to do a recreation of this structure in which the suspended panels represent the Cosmogonic anchored between the earth and the celestial plane, in its central axis we find a lamp that represents the descent of light or illumination, under this there is a chinese stool bench in which the viewer can recreate the sensation of being inside the Atta, thanks to a sound structure by the Venezuelan composer Adrian Suarez, a doubling effect is created in which an intimate connection between the work and the viewer is established. therefore between the concept and the visitor.

The idea is to allow the public to interact with the structure, be in contact with it and be part of the Atta Yekuana experience.

Technical requirements for assembly

- Ceiling anchor point for a weight of +/- 12 kg.
- Electrical socket
- MP3 audio player.
- 8 Chinese green pavement granite bricks (Anchoring the work to the ground) - 3 Chinese stool

It is a self-installation whose conformation does not pose major technical complications for its assembly.
