" A g u a s "
 

"Aguas" is spanish and means: Caution / Attention.
But originally it is derived from the word: Agua / Water.

​

In the Middle Ages, at the time in which still did not exist a sewerage, people shouted:

„AGUAS”, to announce that they are going to throw dirty water out of the window or the door.

​

Up to the present day, people use this expression, which has slipped into the subconscious.

Instead of saying: „Be careful / Attention” (spanish: Cuidado), they say: „Waters” (Spanish: Aguas)
 

The installation “AGUAS” plays with the forgotten word meaning

and points in ironic manner to the global drinking water problems.

 

The water simply runs away, it goes!
