While entering Dauerwelle, one finds out that it is unlike any other city. A city with a limited area, which at the same time is not in the captivity of a specific space and does not belong to one particular geography. She is a moving city immersed in space. She crosses rivers, penetrates other cities, stops, gives, takes, and leaves again to another place. It is as if the continuity of the city is in this constant movement.

It is not known when exactly Dauerwelle was founded. The only information available is that the city was built by blacksmiths entirely out of steel and iron. The inhabitants have never been permanent residents. None of them were even born here. Each of them has a different background and history. Even the languages they speak are different. The oldest inhabitants were the same blacksmiths who built it. Later, when Dauerwelle began to move and enter another city, some of them left Dauerwelle for the first time and settled in the new place.

How the inhabitants communicate depends on events, and indeed the city is full of them. Events are reflections of the cities where the inhabitants used to live before coming to Dauerwelle. Events are often in the form of a performance, an object, a structure, or a collection of all of them. Inhabitants in small tribes hold these events every day.

A tribe has organized a performance to criticize the phenomenon of mass consumption in the previous city from which they came. Some mirrors are placed all around a corner of Dauerwelle, and performers are constantly adorning their faces with all kinds of cosmetics. Their faces are buried between thousands of layers of cosmetics and are no longer recognizable.

Another tribe organized a carpet weaving event, and anyone can start weaving. The woven carpet is becoming longer and longer every day. What changes and grows in Dauerwelle is not its area but the events within her. With the arrival of new inhabitants, new events are formed. One wanders around the city for days, sees different events, feels amazed, learns, and sometimes becomes the founder of or participant in a new event.

After days, it is finally time to leave the city. An event has been arranged for the farewell moment. Since the city is floating in water and water is its mobilizer, the inhabitants spill water for the person who is leaving Dauerwelle. It is believed spilled or running water symbolizes mobility and ease of movement, since it does not stop or get stuck, and so spilling of water is done so that the journey someone starts would go as smoothly as the spilled water.

Although the city is floating in water, access to drinking water has always been a problem, and inhabitants should take precautions for consuming it. Therefore, they decided to use water from the river for this event. Some of the inhabitants built a structure to lift the water, and every time someone is leaving Dauerwelle, they take water from the river, pour it into a bowl, and spill the water again into the river—a return from water to water. One leaves the city, while events floating in memory and eyes are drowning in water to remember more. _ Ghazal Neatgorgani
