Rivers are the arteries of our planet and the birthplaces of our civilization.
Yet how do we treat them? With the Danube River Project, German artist Andreas Müller-Pohle has focused on Europe's most important river, which he has portrayed above and below the water line, using photography, video and sound recording complemented by scientific analyses of water samples taken from the river. After completion of the Danube project, the focus will be on specific city/river environments and river deltas outside Europe. This site is intended to serve as an interface between those projects and the public.
