Hallenbad Neuenburg am Rhein

In the indoor swimming pool, the transparent sphere becomes a body in the space between water, leisure, public architecture and pandemic restriction.

The series shifts Social Distance Stacks into a space normally associated with bodily proximity, movement and shared experience. The indoor pool becomes a suspended social stage.

The photographic situation shows how familiar public places gain new spatial and psychological meaning under pandemic conditions.
