Description
The swimmer is performing movements which can be seen
as completely natural, yet they contain a vital contradiction,
a double meaning: swimming as a way of surviving.
At the same time as the swimmer is having
a pleasurable experience of the element of water, she
must continuously fight to stay alive.
