What does the subterranean realm hear about your leisure activities in nature? The solo exhibition “What a mole hears in the sky on Sundays” by Elisabeth Töltl aims to reveal precisely this as part of the Speedshow Series.
In her first sound installation, Töltl presents unprocessed sound recordings from an artificial “mole burrow”. A buried microphone recorded what a mole would hear “in the sky” in Vienna. Using headphones connected to molehills, visitors experience this sonic panorama from the mole's perspective up close and are thus sensitized to the hidden dimensions of environmental pollution.
