She gave life to her Microcollection in 1990 at the Venice Biennale when, almost by chance, picked up a few fragments that had accidentally fallen onto the floor from a fantastic work by Anish Kapoor. Those microparticles, overlooked by everyone else, represented the intuition of a new form of creation! Since then her artistic practice has been collecting art fragments, re-experiencing each time the magic of that special moment of intuition, the creative act! Now Microcollection owns more than a thousand art-particles that can be viewed under a microscope, so the public can sense the invisible and become aware of the creative freedom. Microcollection is a mental art experience that changes the boundaries of art, mainly focusing on immateriality, mythology and dissemination.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Cabinet de Regard: The Visitors.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Cabinet de regard is an \u201cobservation chamber\u201d with a table, a microscope and a selection of art fragments of the collection.
