Inside the marble bathtub, which appears to have been filled with mercury, a bronze plaque presents its silvery, moon-like surface. It is the immutable witness of a fleeting moment: rain falling on Athens on Friday 6 December 2024.

That morning, a cast of the impact of the drops on the earth was made, later transformed in bronze. ‘In what past does this rain fall?’ asks Borges in one of his poems. Thanks to that 'recording', a rain from the past, in a time bubble, never stops falling.
