Historical Absense Future Presence

Installation, Amberger Stadel, Donauufer

The interplay between nature and human beings is the basis for Dimitar Solakov's installation on the banks of the Danube in the immediate vicinity of the Stone Bridge in Regensburg. Using the example of the sturgeon, he addresses a historical-ecological topic and visualizes the connection between floods, changes in the ecosystem and the occurrence of the sturgeon species Glattdick. Due to overfishing and low water levels, this fish species is almost non-existent on the Upper Danube. Solakov's neon installation shows the sturgeon on historical flood lines.
