Yes, I have a deep connection to Italy through many lifetimes. Italy for me has always been very familiar. In fact, just around the time my father passed, when I was eight, I got an Italian tutor and I swore that I was going to learn to speak Italian like my father did. He just loved languages.

When I ended up going to study in Rome, I realized that Rome is not a city for an eighteen or nineteen year old girl. I ended up looking for a place with more structure, so I moved to Paris. Nevertheless, my heart stayed with Italy and I have many memories from having lived in Rome and Venice in previous lives. I know the north really well. Even Torino is a place where I feel very connected.

The interesting thing, the anecdote, or the irony, if you want to call it that, is that in 2014 I was invited to represent the Vatican nonetheless at the Venice Biennale in 2015. I am not that religious, but they wanted, I do not know, somebody from the third world, Colombia.

There, I was commissioned ti create a piece called Archetypes: The Sound of the Word Beyond Sense. I created a set of six animations that you could enter from many different places, and I played with color and projections. I wanted to state that the Word of God, or the Logos in the Gospel of John, is basically speaking about our own incarnation beyond Christ, because we are here to live through our bodies as the vessel where our spirit becomes conscious and we become aware, enlightened, however you want to call it.

Thus I spent time in Venice…
