“Schwimmen” is my first found-footage project.
The video shows the pleasure of swimming. I was inspired by the initiative Freischwimmer e. V. in Krefeld, which is committed to the preservation and reuse of the old swimming pool on Neusser Straße in the center of the city.
It is one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau swimming pools in Germany, but unfortunately it was left to decay for years due to a lack of money in the city’s public budget.
