huge pool windows

2023, june 27, berlin

in the early morning, i step into the indoor pool, the sun pouring in through the windows from every angle, illuminating the space. it‘s bright like an open-air pool and as serene as a church. by midday, i‘m walking past water lilies in the intermittent sunshine. later, in the coziness of our home cinema, k. is filling a coconut shell with pistachios for me. on our evening walk we pass a pile of rain-soaked posters, a mushy, sludgy mess, and k. asks me if i see art in it. when we come home, m. an t. settle in their chairs against the stark dark blue wall, munching on chips that seem to glow in contrast to the dark backdrop.
