Flip-flops and splashes

At raging heat, I love diving into the summer, swimming in open waters, profiting from the sunshine and the salty air. I'm not a big fan of swimming pools or aqua parks though, but when you're stuck in the city, it's almost inevitable to visit them. So I went with friends and their kids. There's a constant roaring you hear right after entering, made up of children's laughs and screams, the splashing of pools with different temperature and depth, the music they play... The smell is specific too: it's the mixture of of chlorine, sun cream, and beach food. The vivid flip-flops, tiles, swimming dresses burnt by the high sun create a vibrating composition. This, cooperating with the music and smell of the pool immediately brought back my childhood excitement for summer. The impatience for going to the pool and spending the whole day in the water with my friends, eating pancakes and ice-cream when we get out, so that finally let myself send to sleep by the constant murmur. This childlike joie de vivre was the thing I wanted to record with the double exposure photographs - to preserve the memory of old and fresh summer days.
