El director y artista David Lynch ofreció una conferencia en el Auditorio 400 del Museo Reina Sofía de Madrid el pasado martes 15 de octubre a las 20 h., dentro de la programación Trans- que RIZOMA ha trazado desde la celebración del Festival el pasado mes de julio. El evento estuvo moderado por el productor y director Lluís Miñarro (Eddie Saeta) y estuvo principalmente centrado en las preguntas del público, lo que permitió a Lynch responder a cuestiones en torno a su cine, la persecución de una idea, la conciencia pura y la práctica de la Meditación Transcendental (MT).
El responsable de clásicos como Eraserhead, Blue Velvet o Mulholland Drive, y de discos como Crazy Clown Time y The Big Dream, se centró en su proceso creativo como artista multidisciplinar (además de director de cine y músico, Lynch es también un reconocido pintor, escultor, fotógrafo, diseñador de muebles…) y en la importancia de la técnica de la Meditación Transcendental en su vida artística y personal, una disciplina que lleva practicando desde hace más de tres décadas y le empujó a fundar en 2005 la Fundación David Lynch para la Educacion Basada en la Conciencia y la Paz Mundial. La MT nació en la década de los 50 en la India de la mano de Maharishi Mahesh Yogi y el propio Lynch ya reflejó esta pasión en su libro Atrapa el pez dorado, editado en 2006. Tras el acto, David Lynch firmó ejemplares de su libro a cientos de asistentes.
