During her donumenta Artist in Residence 2020 stay in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Regensburg, the Hungarian artist and graphic designer focused on the river that connects her country with that of her Artist in Residence stay, her city Budapest with Regensburg. She knew the Danube as a wide and raging river. In Regensburg, she became acquainted with its less dramatic form. 800 kilometers lie between Regensburg and Budapest. That is less than a third of the 2,850-kilometer-long Danube, which connects countless people, a good dozen countries and landscapes. Eszter Muray was concerned with the shape of the river. She found it "behaves like a mobile sculpture, constantly changing with each day, the seasons and the weather." Muray recognized the river as a mobile sculpture - oscillating, reflecting like a mirror.

To enhance this phenomenon, Muray designed mirrors. They allow for a different view, a different perspective. At the Beschlächt, the 13-meter-wide fortification between the Upper and Lower Wöhrd islands of the Danube, the artist found a suitable place to bring out this characteristic of the river. With her intervention she broadens the horizons of the people who meet, the Danube and the old town reflecting.

Eszter Muray studied in Arnhem (NL), Glasgow (UK) and New York (USA). She lives and works as an artist and graphic designer in Budapest and London.
