We are specially grateful to the Marsoni-Sella family, for making this project possible at Palazzo Van Axel: Sellina Sella, Silvia Marsoni and Alvise Marsoni.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer would like to thank Patricia Ortiz Monasterio for her tireless and important support for this project. He would also like to acknowledge the intense work done by the team at his studio, by his gallerists Jaime Riestra, Pamela Echeverría, Guy Bärtschi and Steve Sacks, and by the Italian production crew under the direction of the amazing Gastón Ramírez Feltrín.

Lozano-Hemmer is deeply honoured to be the first artist to officially represent Mexico at the Venice Biennale and thanks the curators, Príamo Lozada and Bárbara Perea, the Mexican authorities, SRE, CONACULTA, INBA and CPT, and the main sponsors, Jumex Foundation/Collection, PAC and BBVA Bancomer, for the wonderful privilege. He is also grateful to Eugenio López Alonso, Rafael Tovar y de Teresa and Cuauhtémoc Medina for their involvement, —they represent three reasons why Contemporary Art in Mexico is strong and getting stronger.

Finally, he would like to dedicate the Mexican Pavilion to his wife Susie Ramsay and his children Julieta, Alejandra and Rafael.
