Night Swim is a visual meditation on Barton Springs during free swim hours. Fragments of bodies rest, jump, float, and spin through the light on the water’s surface. A night swim at Barton is a weightless rite of passage in Austin. I have stared for countless hours at the specific light at The Springs from 8-10 PM— its glow, its hum, its playful skittering. This visual poem brings the surface and depth of the water into conversation with one another.
