The plastic bags are filled with local water and lie on the floor of the exhibition room. The water is coloured with a fluorescent substance. During the day, the light falls on the installation from two sides, creating a gradually graded colour scale. In the dark, the bags are illuminated with black light and appear as luminous bodies in the dark.
