Brythonic

Brythonic How can deliberately destroying a photograph contained within a book of art ever make any kind on sense ? Well, Dylan Garcias beautiful Brythonic, which examines the damage caused by rising sea levels both in pre-history and today, includes a print that will dissolve slowly if immersed in water. Gordon Cairns, B+W Photography. Dylan Garcia’s book ‘Brythonic’ is a beautifully produced, unusual and highly personal exploration of time, memory and myth. Richard Kalman, Crane Kalman Brighton. "It is a fantastic book and great images" Stefan Jensen. Hasselblad Foundation. Brythonic is a project dealing with, time, deeptime, climate change and Britain real or mythological. Geo-mythology is the study of geological events that turn into legends. Brythonic is a group of celtic languages including Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. The Brythonic Legends are The Lowland Hundred (Wales) Kêr-Is (Britany) Lyonesse (Cornwall). The Brythonic legends give us a warning of human inaction. This inaction led to whole lands disappearing under the sea. These Legends are a warning from the past. A warning about rising sea levels leading to cultures and civilisations disappearing. We are in a time when climate anxiety is rising. A fear of climate change and a concern about the survival of human species. There have been many other lost lands historically and later in legends. As climate change occurs Britain will become more tropical. But as well as being the future this is also a view of the past. So a Future-Past, we may return to the days when lions and hippos roamed the banks of the Thames. As climate change returns to Britain, the plants and land will change. We will become a wetter warmer land. The legends of drowned lands are common in many Northern European cultures. They are a historic echo of Doggerland, a submerged land under the North Sea.
