              The nearly room filling pool construction leaves the recipient just enough space to encircle it. On four speakers a texturally modified reading Carl Gustav Jungs work "Man and His Symbols", is superimposed on a recording of a slowly swelling and subsiding river flow. The surface of the black matter, being neither solid nor completely liquid, serves as a screen for the projection of slowly moving dots of light. Their reflections fall upon the wall on the opposite side of the room.
