Fernando Belfiore borrowed an exciting idea from artist Joseph Beuys: that art has the power to change social reality by means of human activity. Belfiore uses the fountain and the water as metaphors for today's world, with its tremendous environmental problems and social inequality. However, the sculptures also stand for the power of the creativity of the community to search for solutions.

The fountain, source or water pump used to have a social function. It was the water provision for a whole community and was a place where people met each other. This is the starting point for a performance about conservative movements in politics, which view the world as something which must be consumed by the people. The environmental problems which occur as a result of that vision meanwhile threaten our living environment, our living community. At the same time, it is that community which holds the power for change.
