SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT presents Daniele Buetti: It’s All In The Mind The prominent contemporary Swiss artist has developed, for the first time, a sound installation for the freely accessible Schirn Rotunda: It’s all in the mind. It is based on an audio experience (a 28-minute-loop) in which the public is directly included by means of hypnosis. The installation focuses on a so-called “color cleansing,” a guided meditation technique that can be traced back to Dr. Arno Müller, a retired psychology professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt am Main. While relaxing on cushions in the Rotunda, visitors will be asked to visualize the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. In this ceremony, each color operates as a representative or thing. Bringing the colors to mind is believed to liberate participants from burdensome feelings or negative thought patterns. Most decisive is the effect that the professor’s hypnotic speech act—emphatic and clear—as on the listener’s body. e-flux/announcements/daniele-buetti-2/
