A swimming pool prefabricated rests in the wall of a Museum. Is a very simple operation in terms of narrative but technically very complex: the pool is simply hold between two walls. The tension of gravity in the installation and the impossibility of the pool as a container of liquids.
These kind of pools, totems so usual in road trips, are icons of a type of leisure related to individualism and the anonymity of an urbanism of single-family of suburbs. Anonymity broken only by Google satellites, that allow to draw imaginary rivers like the one of the film The Swimmer (Frank Perry, 1968) in with its lead comes back home swimming throw the pools of the characters of the film.
