The installation “Ein Haus, ein Pool” (One House, One Pool) uses a water cycle to form a cloud of fog onto which the speculative stock market values of water (represented by the Global Water Index) are projected in real time. The immanent consumption of resources, water, electricity and plastic is material and content of the installation, while the pseudo-holography serves as a symbol of promise of technological innovation.
Resources are becoming increasingly scarce and calls for a responsible use of raw materials are growing louder. Although water is a human right, its increasing privatization is becoming a particularly macabre part of this problem. The work is conceived as a mobile unit. It is meant to accompany and depict the change of time, regardless of how beautiful or ominous it may be.
