Giovanna Di Costa
1967, Gallarate, Italy. Lives and works in Milan

We were looking for a different reality, where nothing was unexpected or accidental, where nothing was dictated by chance, where everything was under examination, where anything was sure, undoubted, foreseeable.
No worries, no illness, no pain, no suffering.
Thriving and eternal nature expressed itself through incontaminate and wrapping landscapes, where a flaming ball, named the sun, was diffusing light, warming sea of tranquillity, which it was impossible to be drowned in. Satisfied needs, realized wishes.
Nothing known accorded with words such as war or violence: they were only senseless words. This places were spreading in a autonomous way, everything was swallowed up by this new reality and the beautiful things never wasted, we did not get old anymore, we did not die anymore.
Everything became balance, perfection, wisdom, we defeated evil, we could see God, we were communicating with Him, who was untiringly repeting, He loved us and He would never leave us alone.
