    Public swimming pools in Zurich form the photographic basis for this project. The unusual emptiness and the unused space, which can hardly be found in the outdoor pools in the summer months, is also intended to convey the viewer of the photo gallery. This curiosity should be taken to the extreme by altering the image with photoshop.
