I aim to create a sort of theatre piece in every exhibition that I work on.

  Artworks needs to speaks like actors on a stage and give an “Eureka!”

    moment to the visitors.

       Sometimes you deal with pieces born in different environments: culturally,

          religiously or politically very different. My role is to put them in dialogue

              and when they start creating a conversation you feel the power of art.

 

 

 

Art is a ritual, a sacred act.
