I have been practicing meditation for a number of years and I combine artistic and spiritual research. This meeting was created as an opportunity to dialogue with the CROSS audience and perform an act of communion based on relationship and in the possibility of an energetic exchange. The inner dialogue between artists and audience produces a circuiting of vital and transformative stimuli that results in a transformation of the level of perception, which is the very meaning of artistic activity. It is an open dialogue and confrontation that develops around the search for “small forms” and the utopian idea of the wonder of becoming one again. The moment a fragment joins another fragment, a more subtle possibility is shared, an understanding of a possibility of a more complete knowledge.
The meeting is an attempt to leave space around ordinary gestures to open ourselves to our consciousness and awareness, and the gardens of Villa Taranto are the ideal place to meet, to walk and be, to welcome the ordinary and meditate, to patiently follow the breath, to know and listen but without thinking.
