The archaeology of the riverbank also played a part in the choice of location, together with the characteristics and physical parameters of the environs and the proximity to the town centre. This installation is located close to the site of the ancient port, which was the centre of trade, and the waterway to reach the distant points of Europe.

In terms of appearance, the buoys are precise copies of the colours and numbering of real pool-balls. The customary set is completed with some irregular ones with unusual markings: they indicate their neutral autonomy from both the groups of solids and stripes with their white colour. The markings on their sides are three different versions of the 18th century insignia of the Privilegiális Szentendrei Kereskedők Társasága (Society of Privileged Tradesmen of Szentendre), well-known in Szentendre even today. Those who wore this symbol played a significant role in the flourishing trade and cultural diversity that is still faithfully reflected in the town’s preserved Baroque cityscape. This unique atmosphere welcomed generations of painters, and for the most part, it still greets visitors today.

Among the many variations of the recorded cityscape, the most familiar ones are depictions from the Danube. This is exactly the view River-pool aims to playfully complement during the summer season.
