so i know i’m living in this hour

A collaboration: Maurizio Segato & AC Larsen, 2025

From a shared research-based interest in embodiment, myth and memory, Maurizio Segato and AC Larsen engaged in an experimental collaboration, staged at the historic Cappella of the Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como.

Upon death, what sound would encapsulate your life? This was the question posed to 20 artists from across Europe, Asia and Canada — each working collaboratively across a range of different media. Sound bites were collected from each artist, including a mix of personal archival material, songs and field recordings.

The recordings were combined to form a mix-tape — a track list to life, which was installed and presented to the group at the Low Realisms Aperto, alongside a participatory text in the form of a gift to each visitor. The work existed as a temporal and site-specific piece that sought to ground the listener in the present, experiential moment — a celebration of life and a tribute to the power of collective presence.
