For this overwhelmingly beautiful and expressive under water staging, Marko Zink traveled to Greece each summer from 2004 to 2012, to capture his dreamed-up realities with an analog camera. Lifeless clothes and everyday consumer goods float through the sea at different times of the day and are brought to life by Zink.

„At first glance, Marko Zink’s series swimmers is an easy game, sometimes turning profoundly serious. There, polar opposites penetrate each other, what is incompatible becomes compatible. There, images begin to oscillate just as invisible inner flows of water, this matter becomes ambivalent, and no-one knows whether one will surface, swim on or drown.”
from the prologue by Diethard Leopold
