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.

ACTS OF UNION
Curated by AC Larsen, 2024
We have been living in an era of revivalism’, wrote David Egerton in the Guardian in late June 2022, speaking specifically of
revived notions of a [Great] Global Britain. From Brexit to hard borders, echoes of Rule Britannia have been ringing out loud and proud — political discourse, left and right alike, evoking visions of a ‘buccaneering’ Britain, here to steer us through the choppy deterioration of public services, culture wars, cost of living crises and rising far-right extremism.
Convenient flag-wave aside, when is it finally time to ask, who exactly is the fallacy of the United Kingdom actually serving? Referencing the Acts of Union that created the Parliament of Great Britain in 1707, this exhibition stands as a point of rupture against nationalism, state sovereignty, imperialist legacy and political populism.
Featuring works spanning photography, sculpture, textiles and moving image, this show brings together 14 emerging artists — with works that engage critically with what it means to live, work and sow new seeds of national identity against the backdrop of a post-Brexit, divided, binary Britain.
Participating artists
Beverley Duckworth, Jody Evans & Dalia Araby, A. Howard, AC Larsen, Dave McCorry, Joseff Morgan, Timothy Ogu, Isobel Scarsbrook, Clara Scullion, Alexandra Warren, Rosalind Wilson, Charlie Yetton, Samuel Zhang
