  It is said, that one day, Zeus sent two eagles from each side of the world. The place where they met defined it’s center, the “Omphalos”, “navel of the world”, materialised by a stone often protected by a snake. It’s also an eagle and a snake that you find as symbol of Mexico City, which etymology means “navel of the moon”. Departing that mythological axis between Europe and Mexico, “Omphalos” excavates abandoned storylines, often built from the observation of the cosmos and reactivates an indigenous imaginary on the ruin of a contemporary symbol of science and communication.
