KHTHON is the transliteration of the Ancient Greek word χθών, meaning earth or soil, but adding to it a sense of deepness, opposing it to the term Γῆ (Ge or Gaia), which is related to the world of the surface. Thus it is possible to consider that KHTHON comprehends all the types of geographic coordinates that, taking in consideration axial references of a vertical nature rather than the usual spacial horizontality, situate themselves below ground 0.
It is this, then, the place where our operations take place. Not only the field of action, but also of conception and development, containing all the aspects of creation / realization.
Therefore, KHTHON offers a selection of reports from activities which have taken place below the surface, providing them an interface with other circulatory structures and entities of infrareality.
The fact is that chton and ge name two aspects of the earth as it were geologically antithetical: chton is the outer face of the underworld, the earth from the surface downwards, ge is the earth from the surface upwards, the face that the earth turns towards the sky.
Giorgio Agamben, “GAIA AND CTONIA”
