Lost Exhibition - Audio

OPEN CALL: LOST — AUDIO

Everyone has experienced losing something.

A person.
A place.
A job.
A belief.
A future you expected to arrive.

For LOST, we are inviting short anonymous audio recordings describing something you have lost and how it made you feel.

These recordings will form part of a live sound installation within the exhibition, creating a collective landscape of absence, memory, and personal histories.

Your voice may become part of a quiet chorus of loss.

What to Send

• MP3 audio recording
• 30 seconds – 2 minutes in length
• Answer the question:

What have you lost, and how did it make you feel?

Recordings can be spoken, whispered, hesitant, poetic, factual — however you want to tell it.

All recordings will be anonymous.

About the Exhibition

LOST explores what it means to be misplaced, erased, forgotten, or quietly written off — individually, socially, and economically.

The audio recordings will play as part of a live installation within the exhibition space, allowing visitors to encounter fragments of personal loss alongside artworks in the show.
