As people have the right to live and be free, rivers should also have the right to flow freely. The course of the Danube was radically changed first time already during the industrial revolution because of the steamships. The biggest intervention in Slovakia so far was the Gabčíkovo–Nagymaros Waterworks, and by now it is obvious that its ecological consequenses were negative.
The base of the joint project of Csilla Nagy and Erika Szőke is the impersonification of the Danube and the realization of a demonstration in its name. The idea behind the project was to handle the Danube river as an entity, a person, and giving it rights. In order to secure its rights, negative human interventions has to be minimized, the floodplains shold be revitalized and ecological balance should be reinstated. The poster for their symbolic demonstration is a lumen print: a picture exposed by sunshine on photosensitive paper. The pebbles of the Danube draw out the bilingual text: “jogom van folyni – mám právo tiecť“, meaning “I have the right to flow” in Hungarian and in Slovakian.
