The Art Walk

Michael Dreher

Die Telefonzellen

For those who are willing to listen.

„No accessibility. Instead, a direct line to one’s own thoughts."

„Whoever picks up the phone doesn’t choose a number — but a message."

EDUCATION

Two telephone booths on the Union-Gelände. Artifacts from another era — yet alive. When you pick up the receiver and press the buttons, you hear no ringtones. Instead, songs Ardi Goldman of special significance are played: pieces with soul, history, and a clear stance.

He himself calls it „musical education.“ A playful call to shift the focus: away from the digital noise, towards the sound of content that remains.

The phone booth thus becomes the smallest, most private concert hall in the city.

A Closer Look at the Work

Michael Dreher From Studio D, the cells have been Ardi Goldman brought to life anew. A tribute to analog. To conscious pausing. And to the almost forgotten art of listening.

In a world that is becoming increasingly noisy and fleeting, sometimes a protected space is needed — completely without a mobile network.
