The project explores the discourses mediated by the differing waters residing with museums, situating the research between the River Dommel and Van Abbemuseum, NL. A research film explores the correlation between museum’s opening hours and building with the river’s hydrology, with bronze vessels inviting water as part of the museum canon, with tactile traces expanding registers of water bodies beyond only ‘river’ or ‘plumbing’, to understand water as a lively maker of kin and wayfinder.
