Curaçao Water for Sale

In November 2017, our class held the 'Badgasten x Willem de Kooning Academy' exhibition at the Oostelijk Zwembad in Rotterdam. My work for this exhibition was meant to be more of a practical joke than anything else:

Since the exhibition was at a pool, it immediately reminded me of the beautiful beaches in Curaçao. Then came the feelings of rebellion and comparison:
"I'd rather swim in Curaçao!"

For this work, I thought I'd share the amazing ocean water from Curaçao. Visitors were presented with the option to buy bags of water imported from Curaçao. With a bag of ocean water from Curaçao, people could fill their bathtub with it and experience swimming in Curaçao waters.
