Cars dancing endlessly round and around, drawing inaccessible circular spaces punctuating our cities, looking for meaning. What about roundabout what? *Round About Baths* transforms an impersonal and inaccessible fountain, trapped at the centre of relentless traffic, into an intimate and communal experience where undressed bodies meet in water. Once the pride of 19th-century social movements promoting public hygiene for the working class, urban public baths have slowly closed their doors, unsurprisingly replaced by private and commercial wellness centres, mirrors of our times. Combining changing rooms, steam rooms and cold-water basins, *Round About Baths* offers privacy while occupying a central point in the city. The temporary public programme reveals the hidden potential of a car-dominated urban environment, hacking existing urban infrastructure and transforming our perception of these forgotten spaces. The high walls of the bathing facility are made from a regular timber structure clad with uncut wooden panels temporarily used for the installation. While the panels will find a second life after the festival, the fountain itself will return to its uselessness, leaving behind only memories and new visions of what public space could be. The heart of the restless circle of motion, shaped by absence, will return to oblivion: a fountain pouring silver into the dark.
