Julana’s Spirit of Imago in Second Life

Mareea Farrasco is a multi-talents individual: artist, photographer, gallery owner and curator, and creator of her own public spaces at IMAGOLand, which is also home to her gallery spaces.

In all of these capacities, I’ve featured Mareea and her work in these pages on numerous occasions; but this one is special, featuring as it does a celebration of Mareea’s IMAGOLandas seen through the eyes of artist Julana Allen (Julana Teichmann).

I was only recently introduced to Julana’s work thanks to her collaboration with Eta (etamae), Where the Flowers Are, which opened at he Elven Falls Art Collective at the start of August 2025 (see: Where the flowers are in Second Life), and it was a pleasure to see her celebration Mareea and IMAGOLand within Minimalista – The Spirit of Imago.

For those unfamiliar with IMAGOLand, the ground level of the region is maintained by Mareea as a public space , the face of which can change from time-to-time, but which always presents a sense of peace and serenity. Within her exhibition, Julana offers a personal and captivating look at IMAGOLand’s beauty as currently presented within the region. From trees turning to gold as the year turns to autumn; from horses grazing to art both free-standing and painted on walls, Julana uniquely captures the look and feel of the region.

As I noted when writing about Where the Flowers Are, Julana has a gift for art and photography, and a talent for post-processing, something which can give her pieces a tactile sense. Here, this combination of vision, framing and post processing which brings a depth of life to each piece, making it not so much an image to be viewed, so much as experienced. This is further enhanced by the space in which the exhibition is mounted, which has been decorated by Julana in reflection of Mareea’s creativity.

A thoroughly magical celebration in art; and if you’ve not visited IMAGOLand of late, I recommend viewing Minimalista – The Spirit of Imago, and then dropping down to ground level and touring the region to experience it for yourself and appreciate the context of Julana’s work.
