I took pictures while walking through Vienna’s Prater, when I saw this girl, enclosed in a man-size Aqua-Ball, trying to walk over water. She moved around, stumbled, stood up and tried to walk again. Those with good balancing skills and a little patience will get the knack and elegantly walk over water. This accordion book shows two photographic series of two different motifs, taken in Vienna’s Prater, an amusement park in Austria. Both motifs, which alternate rhythmically in the concertina book, address the themes of movement, circles and time. The photographs include a text passage from Act One of Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s play “The Cavalier of the Rose” (1911), in the original German version, as well as a French and an English translation: “Die Zeit, die ist ein sonderbares Ding / Le temps est subtil comme un poison / Time – how strangely does it go its ways”. The texts come in various sizes and levels of transparency, overlapping with each other in the photographs.
