It's really a window for the Mexican to be able to connect with other parts of the world.

And I don't think that it is sort of our place to be presenting necessarily Mexican artists in Mexico.

So it's more like cultural diplomacy going on in the space where we bring the world.

And we've had an amazing exhibition, the first exhibition with Eva Jospin.

The Mexican audience, we're very much connected because if you look at her environment, it's very Baroque.

And when you go in certain parts of the city in Mexico, you have that sort of a 40s and

architectural ornaments.

And so there is a connection.

I see connection when we present this sort of artist.

Yeah, absolutely.

And I was telling her, it's like your work, if you see it, you know, you basically are creating that sort of architectural environment.

And she was enamored and loved the center, but also, as you mentioned, like all of these trees coming out and the roots.

And also, let's not forget, you know, one part that really attracts me to the place, of course, it's antiquities.

You're walking into a very living, you know, sort of a soil.

anything can happen.

And sort of that relationship to life, that relationship to death that Mexicans have, and that relationship to time was also something I'm sensitive and sort of enjoy it.

But yeah, there is something about Mexico City and in general, the Mexican people, their soul, their spirituality, and there is also

The part that you have to live, you have to live in the moment.

You need to create in sort of this moment.

And there is so much contemplation.
