The painting was executed on a photographic backing; the photograph of nature shines through, offering a glimpse of the interplay between photography and painting. The swimmer stands, relaxed yet precise, keeping watch. As a human figure, he stands dreamily between nature and technology.
Berlin’s lakes appear in places where one would never expect to find them in a big city. They offer an escape from everyday urban life and provide an opportunity to delve deeper into one’s own thoughts. For a few hours, they separate people from their urban surroundings.
