Water is an essential component of human life, a strategic resource on earth and an important factor in many political conflicts.

The project ‘100 Spectres’ by the artist Sarah Bildstein deals with the context of the water crisis, and reflects on the causes and effects of climate change.

In collaboration with scientists from the Zukunftskolleg of the University of Konstanz, 100 water samples from all over the world were analysed in a laboratory and transformed through the use of chromatography. They appear as coagulated, but at the same time flowing spectres on paper.
