A small boat abandoned on the banks of the Tiber was fished out and specially prepared so that it can sink and re-emerge within 30 minutes. When the small boat is absorbed by the water it appears as a two-dimensional shape turning into a floating frame. The attention field shrinks. Within the frame are captured an infinity of ephemeral fluid images created by the river and all that its waters carry with themselves. When the small boat re-emerges and floats the frame vanishes and with it the images, hence what remains is the memory of the soft matter of the concepts. If the life of the human being is similar to the river with its continuous flow of an apparent dichotomy between transience and transformation, things and being are nothing but fluctuating waves, floating and multidimensional water bodies that sink and re-emerge, that act and react simultaneously on a physical, emotional and mental level, where the modification of each element involves the change of all the connected parts.
