With the "underworlds" in Basel the conception of Osnabrück comes to a friendly continuation. Here sound artist Peter Philippe Weiss is invited by the association of hard of hearing people and he has a clear objective to reach: To make people aware of the preciousness of hearing.  The project was supported from the government of the city of basel and the mayor of basel was having a speech at the opening of the installation.

With the Basle "unerworlds" the pedestrians are kicked out of their daily grind. For a short time they are be put out of the stride. Confronted with a complete astonishingly occurrence that they never experienced before. The sound is coming from below the ground. From where it never came before. The frame is new and surprising. The result is marvel, disbelieve and little reality shifts.
