The first dive, the first swimming test, the first ice cream.
The hot stone slabs, the mushroom in the non‒swimmers’ pool, the first kiss, the first cigarette...
I spent many summers at this outdoor pool. Later on, I would often pass by and stop for a moment to reminisce. When it became clear that it was to be demolished, I wanted to capture the place one last time, as a personal and collective farewell. The photographs show the site in its final state after closure, in a phase of transition. Nature is beginning to reclaim the place. The images are complemented by original objects that make memories tangible. The exhibition is structured so that you move through it as you would through the old outdoor swimming pool. I was supported in the conception by Anne Eichelbrönner. Historical insights are provided by Dr Ute Feuerbach and
Dr Bernhard Weber from the Volkach Local History Society. It is about memories, about summer and about the disappearance of a place. The exhibition is supported by ILE Mainschleife Plus, the Förderverein Volkacher Bäder e.V. and the town of Volkach.
