Rylee Luna

Artist & Artistic director

STORY OF A MEMORY
I was 18 yo, doing a two week retreat in the nature guided by two shamans , from South America . One was tabaquiero the other was ayawasquero .
We were mainly practising daily ceremonies in nature, meditation and we drank the plant Tabacco.
The ayawascero shaman was having visions of the participants during the ceremonies.
He had this vision of me ; I was a child, inside a bubble created by myself to protect myself. The nature all around was trying to enter but I was scared and rejected it. Until I turned into a woman, or opened myself, my bubble, and the nature began to mix together with me. I was part of it.
And from then we were melting, and under us was a dark dirty lake, and every drop of me, was turning the lake into clear beautiful water.
The end.
Well, when I accidentally made this auto portrait/collage, it reminded me of this story.

Rylee Luna is also a co director and creator of the company I was about to tell you i love you .

She functions as a director and art/ visual director, photographer, editor and as a post production and visual supervisor.

An important part of Rylee’s personality and work is her link to the sexual body as well as the natural and spiritual world. The questioning -observation- of humanity’s place and behaviours in and through a political and cultural context.

She loves to observe how humans are connected to a deeper, larger entity.

Her work as an artist wants to create a surreal atmosphere, a wonderful/bizarre/intriguing universe where codes are changed and played with. A mix between dream and reality where fantasies are allowed and the body takes centre stage.

She wants to retransmit an idea of beauty, in which lies the complexity and simplicity of human beings.

Raw, desire, poetry, sexuality, sensuality, intimacy, self.

Rylee is both working for and creating with.
