Water stores memories and reflects in every drop the influence of the environment - as an ocean of information: they show “big data” about life, civilization, cosmos and the universe.
Since 2019, the artist has been collecting water samples from rivers, oceans, fountains, springs, archiving them, studying them under a microscope and making more than 400 hidden "images" and codes visible - stored information in each drop. All drops are digitalized and projected like architecture all-round as a “dome” - a „Dome at Seafloor“ - in Venice, the city of churches and the rising sea level.

Since the corona pandemic, people “read” these drop images also as hidden messages of the viral structures of the corona virus and its thousands of mutations.
