Tang Jiongming This project, which has devoted ten years of effort, uses abandoned pianos scattered in different environments around the world as mirrors - they are witnesses to the silence of the times. The work is factual and simple, yet it connects a theme that is both glorious and weighty, despite being defeated. What is particularly commendable is that the name and core of "Requiem" blend seamlessly, with the finishing touch of the title and a deep aftertaste.
Chris Peters The music still haunts these spaces. Wonderfully composed and lit!
Romain Thiery (Bergerac,1988), is a photographic artist and amateur pianist. Romain has combined these two arts in his Requiem pour Pianos series, which explores abandoned pianos around the world. For him, the piano is "deeply rooted in the depths of our culture" and never ceases to retain its nobility. Since 2014, he has discovered more than a hundred abandoned pianos, leaving the place as it is. The Requiem pour Pianos series has become the core of his artistic work, symbolizing both decadence and resilience and transforming pianos into silent witnesses to their era.
