Just like we dive into bed at the end of the day, to start anew and go on the next day, the river is a place where everything starts and ends all at once.
Just like a cycle that both repeats itself and renew its own environment, like the rise and fall of the sea, the moon or woman periods.
Inspired by Heraclitus’ thought that one can never bath twice in the same river, I see Time as a continuous yet always renewed flow, when we can safely repeat the same gesture but never with same effects.

Here I over-printed an instant pic of my bed shits on a pic of the river Tage. Using cyanotypes technique, the water that rinses the paper and the natural foldings of the paper add another lay out to the foldings of the bed shits and the riddles of the river, just like layers of time itself.
Just like a summer dream bathed with light and waters.
