Just add water is an interactive videoinstallation of Artist Pauliina Salminen. The installation is based on underwater shots in France and in Finland.

The work explores and brings through the personal human contact to water via sound and image. The aim is to deliver the audience with the sensation and perception that different people feel while in water, which also exposes their inner and maybe secretive sensual perceptions.
