how a river should flow

With the third Rhone correction, measures are being pursued to restore the beginnings of a natural watercourse. But is this still possible at all? Can the significant changes we have made to nature be restored? 

In the project “how a river should flow” refers to human intervention in the natural course of the Rhone. 

Photographs of reflecting water surfaces are re-embedded in an installation process on the banks of the Rhone. The unnatural materialities create idiosyncratic sculptures that attempt to enter into a connection with nature. The result is a dialogue with the natural originality of water bodies, which are constantly being altered by human intervention. The unusual and surreal watercourses stand in contrast to the assumption that nature can be controlled by man.
