Description
Since the prehistoric times, humans have developed a collective mythology that can justify their existence and, most particularly, answer to the questions arisen by the experience of birth and dead. The fantastic and the imaginary have always characterised the mythological narration, which has been developed at the same place with the artistic creation. During the centuries, and trained from the processes of industrialisation, globalisation and secularisation, these narrations have in part been reconsidered and modified, while new ones have appeared. Today, and beyond the cultural frontiers, we share a multiple and fragmentary mythology, reaching at the same time scientific positivism, psychoanalysis and the most varied religions, but also literature, cinema and comic strips. Andrea Gabutti, Reto Leibundgut, Didier Rittener and Rébecca Sauvin interrogate through their works the presence of the myth and the fantastic in our times.
