When Waste Becomes Art: André Brunes “Bottle Feelings” in Bochum
The lecture on the exhibition “Bottle Feelings – Art from Waste” opens on July 24, 2026, a clever, sensual access to a project that intertwines sustainability, photography, and urban culture. In the Sustainability Center at Kortumstraße 93, artistic observation meets social responsibility – right in the middle of Bochum's Sustainability Year 2026. The event is free of charge.

Photography as a Detailed Art Examination
André Brune, who sees himself as a Ruhrpottologist, works with a visual language that balances documentary attention and poetic condensation. His series “Bottle Feelings” focuses on seemingly incidental traces: discarded bottles, urban fringe areas, moments of irritation. From this arises an art that transforms everyday observation into aesthetic experience. Brune describes his practice as a combination of photography, text, and a perspective on the Ruhr area; his biography and projects situate him as a regionally rooted artist with a strong focus on waste reduction and sustainability.

Sustainability as a Curatorial Theme
The Sustainability Center is more than a venue. It serves as an open space for exchange, exhibitions, workshops, and lectures. Discussions take place in the foyer, exhibitions are held in the “Look Closely” area, and the barrier-free access via a side entrance facilitates visits. Thus, curation itself becomes part of the concept: art appears not in isolation but as an impulse for conversations about resource conservation, consumption, and urban consciousness.

An Art Experience Between Ruhr Area, Material, and Attitude
Those attending this lecture experience not merely an explanation but an introduction to an art experience that sees photography as a social medium. The exhibition “Bottle Feelings” was brought into the city center by Bochum Marketing as part of the Sustainability Year 2026 and is part of a program that brings together participation, discussion, and creative recycling. Particularly striking is the connection between image, poetry, and a specific location, through which a discarded object becomes a narrative about responsibility.
