The Danube is the European river par excellence. On its way to the "new place," it flows through ten states and thus more countries and landscapes than any other river on the continent. Berlin photographer and media artist Andreas Müller-Pohle has produced an extraordinary portrait of this mighty river in his "Danube River Project". The photographs, taken from both below and above the rivers surface, provide an "intriguing fresh vision" (Ivaylo Ditchev) of the Danube with its unique urban panoramas and natural phenomena, its bridges, harbours and factories. Müller-Pohles poetically documentary view of the Danube also includes the water as a chemical substrate: Water samples taken from the spots photographed have been chemically analyzed and the values inscribed into the image. The result is a pictorial atlas and a blood count all in one: an aesthetic and scientific compendium of Europes most important river, from the Black Forest to the Black Sea</.
