“subport bergkamen” is the world’s first and only underground airport. It is an understated, humorous light and sound installation that simulates an imaginary, subterranean airport.

Airport sounds such as engine noise and airport announcements resound out of 14 manhole covers. Illuminated information signs can be seen through the holes.
