THE WATER RUN

DESIGN: MATYÁŠ BARÁK, COMMISSIONED BY: ZÁMEK ŽĎÁR (Z. DEMLOVÁ), MANUFACTURED BY: ACO INDUSTRIES (P. KLEPETKO, J. HABERLE), ILLUSTRATIONS BY: RADKA MARTINCOVÁ 

The Water Run is a large-scale interactive installation measuring 6 × 2 meters that playfully explores the circulation of water on Earth. The track consists of 21 rotating segments, each representing a place where water temporarily stops during its journey — from natural ecosystems and historical sites to contemporary urban environments.

By turning the segments, visitors determine the path of hundreds of wooden balls symbolizing drops of water. Combining play with education, the installation reveals the connections between nature, technology, and everyday life through movement and illustration.
