The Schäfersee is a lake in Berlin created 10,000 years ago by a block of ice left behind when an Ice Age glacier melted. Since some years it’s been contaminated by residual waters from the city and as a result of that its suffering serious ecological problems. Because of the heavy metals and suspended matter it has been receiving and its actual situación the lake is considered biologically dead. The sound offering was a call and invocation to other ways of relating to water.
