„Schwimmen“ ist mein erstes Found Footage Videoprojekt.
Das Video zeigt die Lust am Schwimmen. Anregung war mir die Initiative „Freischwimmer e. V.“ in Krefeld, die sich für den Erhalt und die Wiederverwendung des alten Schwimmbads auf der Neusser Straße im Zentrum der Stadt einsetzt.
Es ist eines der schönsten Jugendstilbäder in Deutschland – doch leider wurde es aufgrund von Geldmangel im öffentlichen Haushalt der Stadt jahrelang dem Verfall überlassen.
„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.
