When Machines Become Sound Sculptures

The exhibition Fake Noise, True Image – Synergies in Art transforms the Pasinger Fabrik into a sensual experience space between sound art, sculpture, mechanics, photography, and theater. On Tuesday, October 27, 2026, visitors will experience electromechanical artworks from the Munich artist duo Portmanteau from 3 PM to 7 PM.

Sound Art Between Sculpture and Performance

The focus is on peculiar music machines created from old, found, or recycled materials. Sittichquirl, Alpinium, Strippenzieher, Singvase, and Grobian combine kinetic sculpture, assemblage, and sound art into a playful installation. Through coin insertion, button press, or crank movement, visitors set the works in motion themselves.

Chairs start to tap dance, a flock of sheep sounds, and a singing vase develops its own humorous musical commentary. The contemplation of the works is not limited to visual observation: movement, sound, material, and spatial effects become components of an immediate aesthetic experience.

Portmanteau and the Poetry of the Machine

Behind Portmanteau are Gerald Greulix Schrank and Christian Taison Heiß. The duo, active for over twenty years, works at the intersection of band projects, sound studios, theater, and technical tinkering. The Süddeutsche Zeitung referred to Portmanteau as the Tinguelys of theater – a connection to kinetic art and the tradition of the quirky machine object.

The exhibition expands the sound machines into a diverse showcase. Parts of stage sets, photographs, prints, and paper comics enter into a dialogue with the mechanical sculptures. Martin Dessecker, Petr Mayr, Willi Haas, and Dr. Leonhard Scheck contribute additional perspectives from visual art, printmaking, photography, and science.

Industrial Memory as Exhibition Context

The history of the exhibition site shapes the curation. Where today the Pasinger Fabrik serves as a cultural and community center, once stood the headquarters of Ritterwerke, where household appliances were produced from 1912 to 1982. A work developed specifically for this location from hand-cranked bread slicing machines translates this industrial past into a humorous sound installation.

Anyone who inserts a coin will hear what a bread slicing machine sounds like when it no longer slices bread. The history of technology, everyday objects, and performance merge into a sensual installation that engages the eye, ear, and diaphragm.

Work Contemplation, Tours, and Cultural Education

On many exhibition days, the artists themselves are present, guiding visitors through the spaces and interacting with individual works. Public tours take place on Tuesdays at 6 PM at selected dates, including October 27, 2026. The exhibition is aimed at playful children ages 0 to 99 and connects cultural education with immediate interaction.

The atmosphere of the exhibition thrives on the interplay between quiet contemplation, surprising sounds, and activating movement. Fake Noise, True Image presents art as an open experimental setup: technically precise, materially diverse, musical, theatrical, and full of playful joy.

Conclusion: An Art Experience to Listen, Marvel, and Participate

Visitors can expect an exhibition where sound art, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and theater merge into a walkable cosmos. Anyone wanting to experience kinetic art, recycled materials, and humorous machine poetry directly should definitely visit the Pasinger Fabrik live and extract the sound from the works themselves.
