Participants chanted in a subway corridor during the rush of commuters. The chanting was limited to vowel sounds, with each participant vocalizing in their own way. There was no score. Participants could enter and leave the piece whenever they wished, returning to their everyday lives.

Performance
20 choirs
Passage piece is the time and space-specific work presented at the Watermill Center on July 27th, 2024. An installation performed by 20 vocalists chanting creates an immersive experience that the audience passes through one by one. The project draws inspiration from Japanese tea ceremony and deepens the artist’s exploration of the “Present” and the transitional spaces between life and performance.
