Note / During one of her visits to Warsaw Van Warmerdam bought some flimsy coloured bags. For the exhibition ‘à vent’ in the FRAC Languedoc-Roussillon she thought it would be a good idea to make a swimming pool, bearing in mind the hot sunny days in the South of France. Paddles are used to keep the water in the pool churning constantly, thus making the plastic bags glide majestically across the water surface.
