SRI YANTRA

August 29 - September 6, 2008 | video-sound installation | Vittoriale degli Italiani, Gardone, Brescia

Conceived for Notturni Dannunziani exhibition project
Andrea Morucchio's video sound installation SRI YANTRA at the Vittoriale degli Italiani Gardens conceived for Notturni Dannunziani is made of a video retro projected in loop on one semitransparent screen and the diffusion of a musical score. 

The video consists in a single take of my torso, toned in red, upon which the Sri Yantra symbol is tattooed; the movement of the abdominal area, defined by deep inspirations and expirations, follows the rhythm of the soundtrack TibetanGranularSintesisRitual by Alessandro Ragazzo specifically produced for this piece. The video functions as a reflection on the disarticulation of the polyphony of Tibetan mantras.

Sri Yantra is a symbol of knowledge which seemingly projects an inflexible order into the world of forms - that supreme order from which creation issues forth – the eternal coupling of male and female, light and dark, good and evil, love and hate…spirit and matter.
