Summary note
This edition is Rodrigo Túnica's first book. The book focuses on the construction process of the Astronomical Observatory located in the coordinates: 47° 01' 37.1" S, 70° 38þ 40.8" O, that give the book its name. This piece of Land Art created by Túnica became a space of communion and encounter between the artist and Wüssüwüll Wirka a pana, a referent voice of the Günün a Küna people, a Tehuelche community from Patagonia, living in the regions of Rincón de los Sauces and Auca Mahuida, in the north of the Province of Neuquén. This meeting point reflects on the forms of coexistence with our environment and how this practice became the conception of the Observatory. Research is the collaborative result with referents of the Aonikenk and Günün a Küna communities, as a travel diary that invites us to get lost and rediscover our terrestrial and cosmic origins. It opens the possibility of looking from the unknown and into the unknown, of understanding that the world is composed of worlds that urgently need sensitive gazes so as not to be forgotten.
