Yasuhiro Morinaga

The Sound Room receives this multifaceted, polyphonic and immersive sound installation by Yasuhiro Morinaga. The Voice of Inconstant Savage (2023) theatrically juxtaposes a recitation based on a Portuguese missionary report in the 16th century, a chant of the ‘Kakure-Kirishitan’s Oratio’, which is rooted in Nagasaki Prefecture, a singing of the Karawara spirits of the indigenous Awá people living in the Amazon rainforest, and a chorus of Western Gregorian chant, questioning where the aesthetics of inconstancy lie in relation to the discourse of savagery that modern society is faced with.
