In ancient Greece, the myth was how moral codes and the first ideas about the meaning of the world were transmitted.It explained the relationship between man and the cosmos, with the gods and with his own nature, so that nothing escaped them. Throughout history the myth has continued in our collective imagination as the embodiment of the sublime and the relationship of humans with the ultimate.
The Madrid artist Curro Viera (1974) develops in Mito a new interpretation of these narratives. After previous works as Emakumea or Els Colors de l'Air, he is now focused on a much more conceptual and risky photography that wants to provoke double reading and unite the aesthetic pleasure to a message that is critical and re-interpretative.
