Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this clip captures a sun-drenched, empty outdoor swimming stadium in Mexico City. The turquoise pool features clearly marked lanes and a diving platform, surrounded by tiered concrete bleachers. Lush green trees and a multi-story building with yellow and blue accents frame the scene. The footage, viewed through a dark frame, shows subtle camera movement and the characteristic grain and color saturation of vintage home movie film, evoking a sense of quiet nostalgia and mid-century urban life.
