The performance MY HOME HAS A GOLDEN GUEST is part of a series of studies that Pier Giorgio De Pinto (CH) is doing about Genius Loci and around particular energetic locations, referring to Monte Verità (Hill of Truth, literally) and to its illustrious guests who approached and deepened this territory. De Pinto’s performance and installation, made in collaboration with Andrew Zealley (CA), represent the artist’s analysis and practice of a spiritual discipline like Reiki fused with an ambience of “healing sound environment” created by Zealley. For this new performance De Pinto has required the participation of 5 guests, expressly invited for this event. They are friends or persons, who marked by their strong remembering or personal experience a solid friendship with the artist until now. The guests are, in fact, in De Pinto’s opinion, related to his past but also present and future Spacetime. He wants to tribute them and thank them for their presence, as well as taking care of them, by healing their Being. De Pinto has already worked in the past around this theme carrying out performances like CONTINUITY IDENTITY THEORY (1999) or PNEUMA (2011); and also the project FUTURE IS NOW (2011), in which the artist adds to the concept of temporality a spiritual dimension, which goes back to physical contact practices with vital and universal energy (called in Japanese KI). It is exactly this aspect that will be treated by De Pinto during the performance MY HOME HAS A GOLDEN. Only at the end of the performance, after the meeting-treatment with the 5 guests, De Pinto will allow the admission to the public at 9.00 p.m. The visitors will get benefit from the quietness and serenity diffused by the location: a whole of lights, sounds, perfume and colours, which can be perceived by lying inside a gazebo located in the garden during the necessary time. The admission to the gazebo is possible together with Pier Giorgio De Pinto in silent respect for the location. Further visits are possible with no appointment on Sunday the 28th and Monday the 29th from 2.00 p.m. throughout 6.00 p.m. As far as the sound environment created by Andrew Zealley is concerned, a characteristic recurring within other collaborations of him can be recognized: like those with AA Bronson, for instance, where the shamanic aspect of the action is associated with ‘moony’ sounds and frequencies, that induce to calmness and well-being. The passage FULL BOOM (golden guest mix) out of MOON PHASE MUSICS produced by PSBEUYS is played by Zealley in a remixed version, especially composed for De Pinto’s performance. http://www.andrewzealley.com
