Zuiderbad Amsterdam

In seven of the seventeen cabins surrounding the swimming pool mirrors are installed. Each mirror contains a digital display which horizontally, vertically or diagonally shows text phrases (digital graffiti). Sometimes it’s a long line from a poem, sometimes a single word, flickering. Without text the mirrors are ordinary mirrors. Each cabin has its own atmosphere and its own texts. A totality of 60 phrases were programmed, among which are (translated from the Dutch): “hugs”, “poetry is to make the invisible visible”, “beauty”, “hello”, “kisses”, “definitely yes”, “definitely not”, “elvis is alive”, “stress”, “lots of sex is bad for your eyes”.
