Two Pianos, Four Hands and Four Feet

Yuko Mohri is a Tokyo-based artist whose work spans kinetic sculpture, sound, film, photography and painting. Known for repurposing everyday and found objects, Mohri creates chains of reaction activated by ‘unstable elements’ – including magnetism, electricity, gravity, dust and water, often with humorous and unexpected results. Rather than presenting a finished composition, she choreographs environments where changing inputs generate unpredictable outputs, manifesting as sound, motion and scent within continuously transforming installations. Her Barbican exhibition In Concert, which marks the 20th anniversary of commissioning artists for The Curve, runs until 24th January 2027.

Christian Marclay is a visual artist and composer known for his work in a wide range of media, including sculpture, video, photography, collage, performance, and music. For the last 40 years he has been exploring the connections between the visual and the audible. Marclay began his exploration into sound through performances with turntables in 1979. Since then he has presented works applying collage techniques to various audio and visual materials. In the 1990s he started creating graphic scores to be interpreted by other musicians. Since 2012, he has carried out the project “Found in”, incorporating sounds produced by everyday objects found in cities such as Oslo, Milan, Venice, Basel, Sapporo and Buenos Aires.
