What began as a pretext to exercise MIguel Wynograd's gaze, little by little became a meditation on different intertwined temporalities. The superposition of very ancient times with dynamic and fleeting cycles: from the geological time of formation of those mountains, through the recurring periods of flowering and decay of plant life, to the immediate oscillation of a climate that oscillates between extremes: all stations in a day, sometimes in an hour or less. And at the same time, traces of many pasts persist in a spectral present. Ghosts. Melancholic friars wandering in the fog. Land of deities and demons.
