A F L O T is a device laying under the water surface that invites swimmers from the Geneva lake to gather and experience it through their bodies and senses. It was conceived as an interactive architecture which would add to the variety of swimming objects that can be found along the lakeshore. Through the executive process, and due to "potential" security issues, its presence was demanded to be clearly marked with buoys, signals, lights and beacons so as to make it safe and visible for other lake users. These elements implied an absurd contradiction with the essence of the installation. The project was finally cancelled by local authorities. Ironically, an object which was meant to disappear underwater, ended up literally disappearing from the venue LAUSANNE JARDINS 24.
