Blue-Inventing the River Danube connects a cultural history of the river with an artificial Research in the presence. Thereby the view directs eastwards and follows the course of the river from Vienna to the estuary mouth. With historical photo-material, the better part is from the collection of the Technical Museum Vienna, the river is pictured with its preparation, its meaning as a European waterway since the 19th century. The two photographers, the French artist Sophie Ristelhueber and Iosif Király from Romania, are broaching the issue of the present river. In winter and spring 2004/2005 both travelled along the River Danube eastwards and westwards. Iosif Király visited places of the middle and lower River Danube which are affected by the industrial epoch. He photographed the former dockyards in Budapest and the seaports Turnu-Severin, Giurgiu und Brăila. Sophie Ristelhueber concentrated her work on the river-ending, the delta and the city of Sulina where the river Danube ends and the Black Sea begins.weiterlesen
