The work refers to the politics of urban planning, which increasingly adapts to the neoliberal logic of spectacle. Fountains and some kind of interactive water installations are often built into renovated urban areas.
The intervention takes place after a rainy day, when there are puddles on the streets. In the appropriate puddle, I installed a water pump hidden in used packaging or garbage.
The sight of the guerrilla fountains in public space attracted the attention of passers-by, triggered reactions and even determined the direction of their movement.
The intervention was repeated several times in 2016.
