Music for a stranger | Free Seat | Little girl | Tokyo

A song is created for every person who takes a seat in the moment. This performance piece is an invitation to stop for a moment and dive into another realm within the public space. No explanation, no rules and no expectations are set, just a moment of encounter through music. Free Seat is a collaboration between the Brazilian musician Pedro Carneiro Silva and the Iranian/German conceptual artist & filmmaker Ardalan Aram. By promoting random encounters, the project seeks to act in the daily life of the city and raise questions about human relations through art. The participant, by overcoming the natural distrust of what is being offered to him and joining the proposal to take a seat, goes from the role of a spectator to co-author of the creation process, insofar as his attitude directly influences the music that is created in the moment. The newest chapter ’Free Seat Tokyo’ was created during the Tokyo Biennale. The current work will be displayed at the exhibition until November 5th, 2023.
