POOLLOOP
A film is projected onto the bottom of an empty pool. The film is watching two women as they with unrestrained body-crawling map the enclosed territory of the pool. The same two women sit on the edge of the pool and watch themselves crawling onto the bottom of the pool. Audiences peaks over the edge of the pool and watch them, who are watching themselves. Or walk around the room and their minds. Sometimes they slide down the pool and join their own bodies to the cinematic female-crawling. The room is silent and inclusively beautiful. A quiet place for restful contemplation.
