Exhibition “What May Vanish Becomes Image”

Much of what is not immediately visible nevertheless leaves clearly audible traces. This acoustic dimension becomes particularly apparent when it disappears or comes under pressure in times of climate crisis, soil sealing, urbanization, and biodiversity loss: Trees suffering from drought or heat stress sound different from healthy plants. The disappearance of the buzzing, humming, chirping, or cricketing of insects, the surreal sounds of a melting glacier, and the decline of audible biodiversity in increasingly deforested primeval forests make the crises of our time audible. In this collaborative project between the Lenbachhaus Munich and the Institute of Musicology at LMU, students are complementing the exhibition “What May Vanish Becomes Image” with the dimension of sound as part of a course and are looking forward to exchanges and discussions in the exhibition rooms.
