Human beings contextualise 
political and social spaces by 
using text and images to record 
stories, factual data, memories, 
observations and recollections. 

The Cistern is a mutimedia
 installation located in a disused 
cubicle of the 18th-century Old 
Royal Baths, Bath, and comprises 
of a touch-screen computer, 
associated sounds and this website. 

The cubicle adjoins a set of small 
rooms where the viewer discovers 
the computer screen displaying a 
simple map of the Old Royal Baths.
