Material

A portrait of a woman is projected onto a pedestal filled with water. A whirlpool sucks out a sensual hole in her mouth. This negative fountain is a scale model for an open-air installation yet to be realised. (Painting: detail of a portrait of archduchess Isabella by Frans Pourbus de Jonge)
