A gown made entirely of clear running water, photographed as a fashion campaign picture in an old institutional bathhouse tiled floor to ceiling in sour pale green, lit by a row of cold fluorescent tubes on the ceiling. The green tile throws its colour into everything: the falling water runs green, the standing water on the floor is green, her skin goes cold and slightly green in the shadows. A naked woman wearing it is caught in a deep lunge, thrown forward and off balance, the front knee bent right over the front foot, the back leg straight out with the heel up, one hand down flat on the wet tile taking her weight, the other arm swung back, her head up and turned to the lens with no expression. Water is thrown forward off her where her hand hits the tile. Camera at knee height, level. overhead fluorescent tubes, flat cold light, sour green, high contrast, sharp focus, deep depth of field. In the lower right corner, a pencil signature: Ziggy
