Imagine an undefined political territory. Not
capriciously drawn on a map, neither invented nor constructed, one that evolved
out of a decade long neglect and disregard of accepted provisions in the heart
of Europe. This is Lake Constance. Placed at the junction of three public ferry
routes that cross the lake, a mass lies floating on the wavy water. It is not
an institution imposing a new world order or trying to take power from anyone.
It is a centre for interpersonal dispute resolution. A place where involved
parties can enter into a parallel logic of relational thinking and adopt the
consensual nature of the lake to resolve conflicts between them. Breaking down
hierarchy and power over each other, the facility can deal with a variety of
personal conflicts, from relationship counselling, prenups and divorces to
neighbours fighting over dogs and fences.
