Squeezed in Infinity I

We stand in a room that is separated from the rest of the exhibition by black thread curtains. The light comes from a sculpture in the middle of the room. It is a kind of abandoned aquarium. It’s only half full of water, but it looks like an absurd, infinite space. In every wall of the water tank, every other wall is reflected over and over again until the reflections are lost in the darkness. This creates a seemingly limitless space that is cut in half by the horizon of the water. The sculpture plays with ideas about the increasing scarcity of water. People tend to forget this and act as if water comes from an unlimited cycle. On the whole, however, it is becoming increasingly scarce unless a flood hits us.
