Two Rainwater Pools 2006-8-5, Warsaw, 2006 (detail)
inkjet prints on paper on dibond, 4 parts
The photographs depict two rainwater pools on an expanse of asphalt. The artist subsequently transferred water from the larger pool into the smaller, thus changing the relative size of the two rainwater accumulations. To him, the outlines of the puddles recalled the shape of countries on a map and therefore the changed sizes also alluded to a change in the relative balance of power.
