Beautiful location for our installation Swept away by the undertow. This time directly on the water within an urban setting.
Our work is exploring the cyclical relationship between water, the human body, and urban space. The work invites us to understand water as a living, shared presence rather than a passive resource. What does it mean to grant water agency? How can we listen to it?
For the visual component, Anna-Tia Buss photographed water surfaces on analog film. Before development, the exposed film strips were soaked in her own urine, a gesture that intertwines bodily fluid with bodies of water. The resulting images are printed on textile and form the heart of the installation: aesthetic images made from what is commonly considered “waste.” Leonie Fritsch composed an accompanying soundscape from field recordings, spoken text, and piano. Voices of the water intertwine with personal reflections. The sounds unfold slowly, inviting pause and close listening. 🤗
