Against the backdrop of texts about valuing water, Hydro Gen charts the ecological devastation and eventual revival of the Tisza river following what has been called one of the gravest environmental disasters in central Europe since Chernobyl.
Nature and humans here are bound within a single frame — havoc in the ecological system activates the breakdown of meaning in the human signifying system of language, but hidden in the wave of ecological disaster is a (re)generative love poem to water that bears witness to its multifaceted beauty and power. A second poem is generated as a soundtrack based on the displayed background text.
