CURATORIAL APPROACH
She experiences the exhibition as a dynamic space of transmission, tells a story from the work of the artists and creates a dialogue between their different universes. She thinks in parallel to the scenography, the readability of the works, the itinerary and the mediation. “The mediation is essential for the public that I wish to immerse as much as possible in the story I tell. Fully immersing oneself in an exhibition is the ideal way to create connections with our world and our realities.”
