Hundertwasser's comment on the work
I travelled for a fortnight with a guide on a barge from Manaus on the watery maze of the Rio Negro and Rio Branco, including jungle stretches. I saw no crocodiles, no snakes, but I swam amongst piranhas, which don't do anything if you're not bleeding or have something red with you. The river water was drinking water. Totally clean. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 599)
