Waterwall

Concept

On the walls of a canal and a bridge in Amsterdam an underwater world is projected upside down.

The water surface in the projection touches the water surface of the canal, mirroring the water under the surface as a wall of water above the surface.

Out of the water surface people emerge in slow motion and float up in the projected Waterwall.

Fully dressed people of all ages and backgrounds float by in this slow surreal underwater ballet, making people aware of Global Warming and the problem of the rising see level.
