The work invites visitors to listen to waste and to sense the sound texture of rubbish as it reveals its invisible pulsations.

Jacob Kirkegaard (Denmark, 1975) is a sound artist who researches the potential musicality of layers of sound in complex environments. His works approach themes such as radioactivity in Chernobyl, the thawing of the Arctic, border walls in global and metaphorical contexts, immersive acoustic explorations in global waste management and processes related to the death of a human being.
