Water Runs Through Us

The Water Runs Through Us flows through water filtration strategies and infrastructures, oral histories and manuals, rainwater, basinwater, blackwater, and many grades of grey-water-all of which emerged from the water filtration systems and water practices developed at Floating University in Berlin.

The Water Runs Through Us invites readers to look beyond the invisible systems that deliver seemingly endless fresh water on demand, to look under the sewer covers, inside the hidden pipes, through the gleaming white toilets, within the garden hoses and sprinklers that mist emerald lawns with drinking-quality water. beneath the habits and expectations that rule our unseen, unexamined relationships with the magical, quicksilver substance that defines, sustains, terrifies, and delights life on earth.
