Agustín Ortiz Herrera presents the trailer for Animalia Paradoxa.

Animalia Paradoxa point of departure is Ortiz Herrera’s research on the origins of the natural sciences (La Capella 19/20 research project). A context of change from a world explained through mythology to another dictated by the parameters of the modern and techno-scientific era in which the empirical sciences prevail. Animalia Paradoxa was the name of the uncertain taxonomic category of some mythological animals such as dragons, mermaids or unicorns. Inspired by that moment in which the magical world refuses to disappear, the artist transports us to a parallel or future time (but difinitely ambiguous) in which the reamins of an extint humanity, are analyzed and recreated by creatures eager for knowledge.
