The Rain

The film shows Marcel Broodthaers trying to write while the rain constantly washes away the ink. In the final scene, during which the artist gives up and drops his pen, the inscription “Projet pour un texte” (Project for a text) appears.

Is that actually rain, or is someone spraying him with a hose?

Perhaps he's sitting under the balcony of a frat party?
