SOURCE OF LIFE

From craddle to grave, a wild river provides diverse habitats within its waterbody. Through its flowing transitions, this also applies to its banks, surfaces and even to the subterranean part.

SHAPING

Each river shapes, not only the landscape but also the communities that settle along its banks. Consequently, the course of a river is tightly connected to the course of local history.

WATERWAYS

Bridges stand for the divisive character of rivers, where for ages they formed natural borders of empires and life forms. Depending on where on earth you find yourself, it might be the vast or hardly traversable land that limits your connections.

PRODUCTION

Rivers provide a variety of resources. In typical human fashion, the intrinsic value of rivers tends to be neglected to extract their economic value.

SENSATION & RECREATION

SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

I can’t think of a religion in which water doesn’t have a special place. But if you look for ways of life in which the respectful and reciprocal use of water is integrated into everyday life, you primarily find it on the fringes of society.
