Intro

We present an unvarnished cross-section and the consequences of carelessness: across 100 m², we display an archive of everyday objects that have been tossed aside.

Rheingeworfen – Witnesses to Carelessness

You are the guests; the Rhine is the victim.

While the riverbank has become a dumping ground for many, we at Rheingeworfen use diving and snorkeling to recover the traces of indifference that have been left behind or discarded directly into the river.

From September 2 to 7, 2026, we’ll present an unvarnished cross-section and the toll of this carelessness at the kHaus Basel Forum: across 100 m², we’ll display an archive of everyday objects thrown into the river, as well as unique finds in the “Upfloating” style by RheinKunst. Every object tells its own story.

Don’t look away:

Come by and see for yourself what’s happening at the bottom of our river.

The Program (September 2–7, 2026)

Hours: Daily from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Exhibition & “Upfloating” Art: Free viewing of the exhibits across 100 m²
