UNS ÁGUAS ( some waters) consists of two identical balloons of glass with long necks, one filled with water (A) till the top while the other one (B) contains just air. One mouth will be fixed on the other mouth, first vertically. When they are placed together horizontally their contents are shared 50/50, as the maximum volume of water or air, each glass piece could then sustain. The title UNS ÁGUAS (in Portuguese) plays with some gramatical “mistakes” ,between the indefinite and undetermined – countable – uncountable – masculine- feminine – singular- plural.
