"Spring 2012 by an isolated hot spring in the Colorado Desert, two old men re-erect hand painted signs that were taken down the previous night. The signs read:“NUDITY PROBABLE AHEAD”.

Five wooden lecterns hold transcripts documenting an argument that occurred between residents of Slab City, an off-grid community in Imperial County California.

The pool is remakes itself as a centralised cauldron of bodily fluids that amass over time.
