comfort...



when i first saw Leandro Erlich's installation
the swimming pool (2001)
it was a strange experience...

i saw it first, as was intended, from above.

it brought up a lot of crazy feelings.

i was unsure about how i would deal with *below*
but took a deep breath
and went for it...

when i first arrived below the surface
there were others already there
many of them disorientated and unsure...
and one by one they left

so i lay alone,
on the bottom of the pool,
for a long, long time


watching
and being watched...

it was a wonderfully strange
yet
weirdly comforting experience...

(a german tourist took photographs of me from above...and
promised to email them to me
for a different perspective...)
