Leaking taps are both frustrating and fascinating. If you’ve ever been disturbed by a tap that won’t stop dripping no matter how hard to try to shut it off. You’ll know how infuriating it can be. Apparently, in the early 1900s, dripping water was used as a form of torture. But it’s also been a source of theatrical inspiration.
In 1969, movie directors Joyce Wieland and Michael Snow made a short film called “Dripping Water”.
