The Kunsthofpassage: the Magic of Singing Drain Pipes in Dresden

The Kunsthofpassage in Dresden, Germany features a unique and entertaining Funnel Wall in the Neustadt student district. As rain begins to fall, the colorful drain and gutter system transforms into a musical instrument.

The Courtyard of Elements is one of the many works of art in the Kunsthofpassage series, created by apartment tenants as an artistic experiment. Sculptor Annette Paul, along with designers Christoph Rossner and Andre Tempel, drew inspiration from Rube Goldberg Machines to turn the sound of rainfall into an orchestral performance.

Other courtyards in the Kunsthofpassage project include Courtyard of Light, Courtyard of Animals, and Courtyard of the Metamorphoses.
