Along the river Enns, abandoned clay tennis courts rest beside hydroelectric plants. In these places, nature reclaims its territory and layered temporalities emerge. The clay absorbs speed, inviting grounded movement and attunement. Through a hydrofeminist lens, the site is not past but ongoing, an entanglement where decay and regeneration coexist. Energy’s freedom meets the court’s stillness; stories ripple beneath, whispering of water, memory, resistance, and quiet transformation.
