At an arts festival in the Colombian town of Cali, Pinoncelli lopped off his little finger. The action was a show of solidarity with the kidnapped Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt. Pinoncelli then wielded his damaged hand like a paint brush splattering blood across a poster with the letters FARC (The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia who kidnapped Betancourt - an outspoken critic of the group).
Pinoncelli told the press that "The idea was to share in Colombia's violence. Ingrid Betancourt symbolises the courage of all those fighting against corruption, and that is why I am rendering her homage".
