Water and light is about a very specific moment of the year between winter and spring, when the snow turns into water under the slowly upcoming heat of the sun. One can feel a humid, fleeting but intense smell of nature waking up, and this atmosphere is what I’m trying to capture.
Having already played with text and moving image in Outdoors, a found footage video, I combine poems with instant photographs, searching for visual and sensual links.

Three passers-by
When I'm at my parents' place, I can sometimes hear people passing outside the window.
Their steps resonate with an empty street and reach my ears despite the double glazing. I imagine who those people are.
1. Wet footprints of damp block heels.
The business woman I fantazied of as a 10-year-old, trying to imitate the "wet damp effect" with my mother's shoes on a 1 square meter balcony.
Today, she might also carry a briefcase with a laptop (out of my childish cloth map).
2. Both bored and curious voice of an adult man explaining what coffee is to his little son.
It also seems like a mandatory adult accessory; coffee on the go. He says it's this kind of a drink.
3. Irregular sounds of trolley bag wheels, the sound is being cut by the gaps in paving stones.
The person is heading somewhere, and their travel is contrasting with the others' everyday rythm of work.
