at the corners of a waterbassin four hairdryers are blowing at random intervals by automatically switching on/off through their overheat-protection.
their wind drives a lonesome sailingship across a bassin, which carries sounds abord only to be heard when it eventually hits the border.
together with the tuned winds of the hairdryers, this forms an image of ever travelling, never arriving soundquest.
