Kali, The Goddess of the millennium emerges
like an enigma, with her four winding arms, her body naked, of a
dark intense blue and her eyes illuminated by virtual spaces. Oriental
melodies, sounds, music, screams, laughter... slip from her body
saturating the entire space. Kali is the shift between the cosmos
and earth; the city and the jungle; the negative and the positive;
the cause and effect, she stands on the top of a hill, immersed
in a play of shadows in the center of a dark space. Two screens
full of images in movements are placed both sides of her. She is
inclined on the right leg. Her right foot lays on top of an active
screen, which represents metaphorically, Shiva.

"For me Kali is a metaphor of time
which concentrates the cosmic forces; that of the natural, the apparent
and the real, the real and the virtual, a compendium of intrinsic
illusions which goes from the most extreme of realism to the most
refined of myths, and in which the concept of cause and effect,
as that of the oriental philosophy, adapts perfectly to the concept
of virtual reality, since virtual reality makes possible the carrying
out of actions which produce, in real time, the corresponding reactions
which we are able to experience in real time.I have gone to the
extreme in my efforts to interpret and to bring to life Kali, by
means of my art and of the digital and make of her a bridge between
the real and the imaginary the negative and the positive, but deep
down within I consider Kali as the most pure representation of nature...,
and on occasions, while working with her, brings to my memory the
concept of the description of the black hole... illusion, reality,
it is hard to tell!" Franz Fischnaller
