When Gods Walked the Earth is a project developed through a series of artworks inspired by René Girard's mimetic theory, and developed through an intellectual dialogue between artist Mauro De Giorgi and philosopher Diego Bubbio.


Mauro De Giorgi's art combines Asian, Japanese aesthetics and techniques with Western themes and insights.

The encounter between De Giorgi's art and René Girard's mimetic theory through the artist's dialogue with scholar  Paolo Diego Bubbio is at the core of this exhibition which opened on October 10 at the Italian Institute of Culture in Sydney.
