City Sauna
The sauna grew in just a week and a day for our PechaKucha presentation.
For three months, it stood right in the middle of the Liberec dam, and people absolutely loved it. It was as white as a sugar cube. Only orange lamps reflected on the water's surface, intimately lighting up the interior. A mountain of joy and positive energy was cut short by an official removal order. Today, the sauna stands at the swimming pool in Rudolfov. We have the keys.
So stop by and warm up…

I am alone upon the surface,
a prisoner of winter storms.
My underside swallowed by boisterous waves,
on winter nights you are all I long for.
A white paper ship cuts through the foam of shame,
a birch is the witness to my chastity.
Thousands of mirrors play a gleaming étude,
an icy ladder counts the steps of the night.
I am a snowflake on the path,
we have no time, please hurry up!
For an instant and then forever,
the fire dies out and my voice fades.
"It was a fleeting structure, but it meant a lot to us."
