Description

Felsskulptur 'Monument for a Forgotten Future' is a fascinating art installation on the Wild Island between the Emscher River and the Rhine-Herne Canal in Gelsenkirchen.

This 17-meter-high artificial rock formation conceals a sound system that plays a 23-minute composition by the Scottish band Mogwai during the summer months.

The monument symbolizes the transformation of the Emscher Valley landscape, showing that even seemingly wild nature can be man-made. An ideal spot for lovers of contemporary art and unusual attractions when exploring the Ruhr region.
