When machines become sound sculptures: Fake Noise, True Image at the Pasinger Fabrik

The exhibition Fake Noise, True Image – Synergies in Art transforms the Pasinger Fabrik into a walkable laboratory for sound, movement, and visual perception. Central to the exhibition are electromechanical music machines by the Munich artist duo Portmanteau, created from old devices, found materials, and recycled individual parts. On Saturday, November 7, 2026, visitors can experience the exhibition from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Art between sculpture, music, and theater

Portmanteau, consisting of Gerald Greulix Schrank and Christian Taison Heiß, combines visual art, sound, language, and theatrical performance into a distinctive art form. Their works evoke mechanical poetry reminiscent of kinetic art and Jean Tinguely's playful engagement with machines. The Süddeutsche Zeitung referred to the duo as the Tinguelys of theatre.

The exhibition gathers sound machines, parts of stage designs, photographs, prints, and cardboard comics. This results in a hybrid showcase where installation, sculpture, music, and humorous interventions are inseparably intertwined. The exhibition atmosphere thrives on visible mechanisms, surprising sounds, and an immediate invitation to engage with the works.

Participatory art for curious eyes and ears

Many works await interaction rather than distanced observation. The Sittichquirl, the Alpinium, the Strippenzieher, and the Singvase respond to coin insertion, button presses, or movement. Chairs begin to tap dance, a flock of sheep sounds, and a mechanical figure comments on the events with dry humor. Here, art becomes an aesthetic experience that unfolds through hearing, seeing, and one's actions.

Recycling, memory, and the history of the site

A work developed specifically for the Pasinger Fabrik from hand-crank bread-slicing machines makes a direct connection to the history of the exhibition site. In the rooms of today's cultural factory once stood the headquarters of Ritterwerke, where household appliances were produced from 1912 to 1982. From industrial past emerges a new artistic present: a bread-slicing machine no longer slices bread but creates sound.

A network of different artistic perspectives

The extended Portmanteau cosmos includes works by Martin Dessecker, Petr Mayr, Willi Haas, and Dr. Leonhard Scheck. Transparencies, visual aids, screen printing, etching, space-consuming installations, and unusual photographic techniques complement the sound machines with further forms of perception. The curation thereby opens a dialogue between analog technology, visual art, media experimentation, and cultural education.

Guided tours and musical accompanying events

On selected days, the artists themselves will be on site, guiding visitors through the spaces and performing parts of the works. Public tours take place on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM. Accompanying music performances expand the exhibition with live sound and make the connection between installation, stage, and concert immediately tangible.

Conclusion: An unusual art experience for all generations

Fake Noise, True Image offers an exhibition experience beyond classical museum expectations: playful, sensual, technical, and historically relevant. Those who wish to experience sound art, kinetic sculpture, recycling art, and interactive installation with all senses will find a surprising art experience for playful children from 0 to 99 years in the Pasinger Fabrik. A visit opens new perspectives on the relationship of machine, human, and music.
