For Die Farbe der Meere Pieroth places four bottles next to each other, each filled with water from a different sea. The samples come from the Black, White, Red and Yellow Seas, but of course the colour of the water does not differ. Pieroth plays in a humorous manner with the connection that is made between geographic specificity and cultural identity. One cannot distinguish between the contents of the bottles. The origin can only be told from the trademarks and labels on the local soft drink and water bottles.
