Eternal Sounds in Bochum: When Post-Mining Becomes Audible
The sound sculpture Eternal Sounds transforms the entrance hall of the German Mining Museum Bochum into a vibrant sound field. The sounds of the so-called eternal tasks of post-mining – from water pumps to ventilation systems – are impressively brought to the here and now and made experienceable as a sensual event.
Sound art that touches the soul
The constant humming, rustling, and buzzing of industrial facilities envelops the space like a pulsating carpet. Visitors feel the vibrations, experience the event atmosphere between technology and poetry, and dive deeply into the audience mood of a place where industrial history and present merge.
Concept and Artist
The expansive work of Dortmund artist Moritz Fehr (living and working in Berlin) uses original sounds from post-mining in the Ruhr area. With precise organization and sonic dramaturgy, the installation transports the acoustic reality from shafts, pipelines, and generators directly into the museum – a best-practice example of successful target audience engagement and contemporary exhibition planning.
