Background
“In Fragen baden” is a text installation on glass by Frantiček Klossner, made in 2010 at the Hallenbad Weyermannshaus indoor pool, Stöckackerstrasse 9, in Bern. His media include video, drawing, sculpture, installation and visual poetry. Existential questions run through his entire body of work. In his visual poetry he has also used sandblasting on glass, for example in a permanent installation at the Swiss Institute in Rome. The title, which translates as bathing in questions, links the swimming pool with the idea of immersion.
