“Will Water Want” inquires how to design in alliance with the Dommel. The work explores the possibility of collaborating with a river, and how to listen to this non-human entity without reducing it to a mere object or appropriating it for human-centric interests.

What questions can you ask to imagine yourself in an impossible conversation with the Dommel? To explore these questions, the project takes the shape of a site-specific work consisting of a billboard and interactive installation.
