“The“ river without shores ”conjures a world that does not exist, which exists only in our dreams and desires, in our forebodings and mania, in our despair and our inspiring impulses. Yann fulfills a fundamental requirement for any artistic work: he creates his own, only belonging to the world inside and through the language. “A river without shores” is a vaulted overlap of fate, a monumental understanding of life and death, and the supporting pillars in it are called futility and frail. The only thing that can preserve the global of the earth is art. ” Uwe Schweykert
