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
