How does personal grief extend to explore broader and collective experiences? Initiated by two artists, Yui Yamamoto and Ruby Antonowicz-Behnan, who experienced the significant loss of loved ones, this project has expanded to collaboratively express grief and reflect on contemporary society.

About

Requiem in Progress is a durational sound performance and installation, reflecting on the feeling of relentlessness of ongoing tragedies. The performance engraves events and lost lives through song, turntablism, and both analogue and digital audio practices.

A dialogue and ritual between the performers' vocal communication leads the performance into an intimate space, inviting reflection on how grief shapes our understanding of the world and fostering connections to broader collective experiences. A set of analogue audio devices— a portable record player, cassettes, and a voice recorder serve as additional instruments in the composition and activation points throughout the duration. These media devices play environmental sounds, news broadcasts, and personal voice recordings, heightening our physical, geographical, and emotional proximity to death. They evoke events, restaging, and collectively remembering moments of loss.
