Rattle and gossip, what is heard and said can lead to intolerance or tolerance, to misunderstandings or understanding, to distance or closeness.
Conversations on the bench overlap with the multilingual snippets of conversation, the sounds of nature and the city in the sound installation. They are intended to encourage reflection on diversity and prejudice, spatial exclusion and social openness.
The seating platform then moves to a Munich allotment garden and becomes a meeting place in the city’s green idyll.
