Paola Pivi (born 1971 in Milan, Italy) is an Italian multimedia artist,[2] a world traveller, based in Anchorage, Alaska. From 2013 until 2016 she was based in India – together with her husband, the composer Karma Culture Brothers – because the adoption of their adoptive son from the Tibetan Children's Village was obtained through a long viciously fought legal battle, which ended with the landmark judgment by the Delhi High Court CM(M) 579/2015[3] which ratified the possibility for Tibetan children in India to be adopted as any other Indian child. In her work, she uses a wide range of artistic techniques, including photography, sculpture, installation, drawing, video and performance.[4] Some of her works contain performance elements, at times involving live animals and people.[5][6][7][8][9] In 1999, she received the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Biennale.[10] Her art is featured in prominent public collections such as the one of the Centre Pompidou in Paris,[11] the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Maxxi museum in Rome[12] or the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. Until today 6 monographic catalogues were published about her art.
