They are set on the floor, a dozen articulated metal fish flopping around frantically in a puddle of dirty water while one of their number seems to give its last gasp in the middle. The work refers to the sorry spectacle of polluted rivers. Bundles of trash, empty bottles, steel drums, and aspirin containers spread all around add an extra dramatic touch. The soundtrack reinforces the poignancy, an ominous arrhythmic beat of a heart moniter about to flatline.
