The narrative is simple: we see naked people diving in a pool full of clothes and than they come out dressed. The interesting point is how everyone strives to accomplish such a simple job, like getting dressed. Those clothes represent the passport for the ‘civilized’ world, ‘freedom’ loses and ‘control’ wins. Fit the pattern in not a simple job and this is the metaphor: Naked free people trying hard to get dressed, trying hard to adapt themselves. The images gain an extra power, because the artist managed to show details of people expressions and movements while they picked a piece clothing and tried to put it on under the water.
