SportPlaza Mercator, Amsterdam
A moving light stain traces the walls and ceiling of a swimming pool like a flash light. Sometimes the light pauses, trembling slightly, zooms in, then out, speeds up or slows down, disappearing to reappear elsewhere. Simultaneously, three-dimensional projections of bridges, sci-fi constructions and other kinds of silhouettes emerge all around the pool. Images of our contemporary mythology light up to sooner or later fade out.
