selfies snap chat instagram we live in a visual world constantly immersed in images slick filtered images that don't so much capture reality that's created a new fake one. but there are photographers pushing back against this glut of gloss some of them are even willing to risk their lives for a picture that matters what drives them art's 21 meets artists whose work stands out in an era of photographic plentitude. afghanistan 2010 shortly after this picture was taken a hand grenade flew over the wall and exploded injuring the photographer she survived. 4 years later shortly before the presidential elections she was killed her name was on your need to bring us. these out as she was in this car about to

accompany a convoy with election documents suddenly an afghan policeman came up to her shouted allah akbar god is great and fired up. as a photojournalist on your need to bring us took pictures that deeply impressed the impact of war upon the rest of the world. she grew up in a small town in north rhine-westphalia and had been travelling to war torn region since the 1990 s. . always on the front line. she was always aware that she had chosen a dangerous profession widely seen as a male preserve but she believed the occupational hazard was worth it and your need to bring house wanted to show the world what was happening in places where few dared to go. the desoto const promised museum has acquired over 70 of her

photographs they feature in an exhibition of female photographers on the front line of combat. what drives these women. french photographer christine is the grown dom of war photography she freely admits that she relishes adventure. venture this is still we like danger all of us as these even if the is this that the this is not the main thing of course i feel a concept in. a new. country or a new situation any drama. i'll either one way there is injustice. that. tragedy so these scenes still be here the. war photographer. gens immediately when you see something on t.v. and you want to hate being the way which is not the way the reply is but with the

camera. she dedicated her work to the victims of war capturing the suffering of the civilian population the misery often overlooked. the fate of women and children and their struggle to carry on with a normal life beyond the front lines but her work is also about hope and tragedy these children in cambodia are having fun splashing around with empty grenade shells. you must eat defeat exist of thinking. if this no i get the one. the truth. they know they can be main since even ace and the women would be in for behaves and fuck them like maine if you see this dramatic picture of the bombardment of i still have nightmares even today but these speeches this made

of the day is the pushout do the chin or the the shield on the highway in the picture i believe the would be doing. in the. lead story in that. in color between the spread of i am very stream a night or noise of being late that american photographer carolyn cole would never describe herself as extreme she's been working for the los angeles times for 25 years and is very down to earth about her job. she's ambitious result oriented and is garnered a host of photography awards it wasn't really a an intentional thing that i went into concert photography it was that as i got to the larger newspapers the need to have some of the covering places like afghanistan and iraq became essential and and at that point i felt it was my responsibility to

as an american photojournalist to cover those were those places where the u.s. troops were involved. so it's a sense of duty that drives carolyn cole even though she takes pictures for a daily newspaper her images have the depth of paintings snapshots for posterity. these pictures are not easy to take the not easy to look at so it's not something that i do for fun and it's something that i feel is my life purpose. the exhibition demonstrates that is different is these women. photographers are they have one thing in common a passion for their job and their willingness to lay their life on the line to do it.

how far and as terrible as reality can be it can also be sublime habitats and living space are what interest photographer tom hagen. homosapiens has thrived for nearly 300000 years often in a hostile environment mankind has done all manner of cultivating domesticating digging drilling and building right now thawing ice sheets on our planet and barely even noticing because mankind is also very good tonight photographer tom hagen flew over the arctic last summer taking these pictures the series is called 2 degrees celsius named after climate change is magic number the limit that global warming must not exceed the traces we leave all over the planet are the theme of his work. this is one of the oldest human interventions in nature salt mining

a colorful symbiosis between industry and the bacteria which live in the salt works hagen used to focus on shooting beautiful landscapes but he soon realized that didn't satisfy him if. what he saw from the plane had a profound effect on him. when he endorsed a specially here in germany when you fly from munich and see the countryside slipping away beneath you. you notice that over 90 percent of our german countryside has been altered by humans and i didn't realize that at 1st. we've left just 0.6 percent of the planet as wilderness claiming everything else and describing it as cultivated. pagans spent months churning through these landscapes researching how our needs change our environment. the result is his book habitat. the. after titles initially sound very positive.

what nourishes us. what builds us up. what drives us. what connects us. from a bird's eye view our attempts to make ourselves at home on earth look oddly aesthetic. the accuracy with which we order and aligned the chaos of nature the resourcefulness we have been constantly developing new technologies to secure our existence. and. each picture has a strange beauty but leaves behind a bitter taste. to their very appealing also in terms of color they're very easy on the eye it's as if the beholder is being fed with sugar sweet at 1st but soon you realize that what you see is actually poison seeds. a golden field of rape seed of.

one of the 4 model cultures which are grown on 78 percent of our agricultural space . a romantic country road part of one of the densest traffic networks in the world laid from end to end it would reach the moon and back. the german forest. a tidy raw materials warehouse 91 percent is used for timber production. and opencast mine. brutal beauty ignite mining for energy production is going to be phased out in 2 decades time the view will go on exploiting the earth until the very last reserves are used up and another few 100000000 tons of c o 2 have been dumped into the atmosphere he still isn't working. on the only then will we see ok there are consequences such as forest fires sea levels rising refugee crises triggered by. vironment catastrophes then we humans will start to think.

we think it's enough to remain pits successfully dug for the exploitation of construction materials and turn them into lakes for us and a few other species to splash around in. the world population is growing annually by around the same number of people who live in germany the growth is chiefly in countries still far removed from our standard of living but pursuing it with all their might. to. homo sapiens doesn't like to exercise restraint as the last 300000 years have shown tom hagan's artistic mission is to document the results. you. if i want to work 100 hours a week and never see my family and die in early age that's my privative.

all it means to me is this one. excessive wealth american photographer lauren greenfield is fascinated by the super rich binge consumerism doesn't make us happy generation wealth is the name of her exhibition at hamburg's. i'm jennifer tucker for 25 years with my lens focused on well. i notice that no matter how much people how. they still want more. it's never enough capital is cash sex youth lifestyle and obsessive addiction. lauren greenfield takes us on a trip to the excesses of turbo capitalism. welcome to an empire of global madness the world of super egos selfie performers brand models the rich and the celebrity

want to be i really try to show people's humanity i try not to be judge mental i try to create a safe space where they can tell their stories and that i try to represent their stories true to what i have seen. sometimes disturbing sometimes grotesque and almost obscene to 150 voters in the exhibition tread a thin line between the dream and the nightmare of the endless desire for money power and luxury. 52 year old lauren greenfield has known this generation well for a long time she grew up in los angeles encountering it for the 1st time in high school. i think the thing that's on usual about my perspective ever kind of in a way counterintuitive is that it is very critical of the culture. but not very critical of the people that i see people reacting to their surroundings to their influences

to different stimuli and i want to look at what that says about culture i love money. greenfield has also made a documentary about her work it's been screened in international best bulls and can now also be seen at the exhibition i have the casa target in almost every color bag store for yourself and go 33 pounds of gold diamonds. i know the names of the cardassian know the names of my neighbors. after so many years working with the super rich greenfield knows for a fact that money can't buy you happiness. the inner void that luxury is meant to fill is a bottomless pit. which comes across loud and clear in the pictures. capitalism feeds. on people feeling. what we see in

many of these stories in the film is that people are using things to fill an emptiness to fill of void unfortunately money. brands fill in the blank. chips he had always wanted to be rich and famous but she burst into tears when she saw her photo. greenfield subjects have paid a high price to be who they are. to sell out a values could not be portrayed more poignantly. but it's sad that the desolation of global capitalism can also be so entertaining. maurice mikhailov subjects couldn't be more different he finds them in places like a busy train station in berlin. his photos go against the grain. the protectionists

of his images are antiheroes poor derelict down and out. his photos long went unpublished. today the need ukrainian is one of the foremost contemporary photographers but yes the maya moore to go photo 1st and then ask. if the answer is no i did lead they go. throughout his career boris me focused on people living at the edges of society. is well known series case history from the 1990 s. portrays invalid's children and the dispossessed in his home city kharkiv after the collapse of the soviet union. whether of nakedness or need the images are brutally direct often hard to look at me kind of takes a different view. than you have thought they do. it's more compassion. maybe even

a sign of respect for the problems human suffering. for help people get into this situation by pure bad luck or. you could see this misfortune is preprogramed a look at those these people are no scientists or scholars. you know and they are and you are the unit that. the collapse of the soviet union push the lowest reaches of society even lower but me her love captures his subjects pride. they look into his lens with confidence in spite of the misfortunes they've suffered. furthermore at their you would you go where or where bush from these are people who have been pushed out by life. they lived their lives about a mile and there is no real connection between this life and ignore. i'm a life. i myself was part of their connection with nora a lot more ahead here on your thought a minute. before sleep after drinking is the title of

a major berlin exhibition that are exploring speaker loves 80th birthday. some of the poses seem to recall christian motifs. explains that many people carry poses like these inside them and points to an example. because of course i asked him to show me how he sleeps he said he sleeps like this well so you had to lie on top of his them so he wouldn't get stole. and then he lay down. and the result was an almost religious looking. karloff personally experienced the soviet regime suppression losing his job as an engineer because of his photos his work was rarely shown until the 1990 s. then in 1994 mikhail of received a scholarship and left ukraine for new york city. i left for personal and health and other reasons. but the main reason was that you

have to defend your work you have to try to make something out of a book or a project. at the time it was impossible in ukraine to do anything at all except collect the pictures. now make i love no longer has to fight for recognition following exhibitions in new york city london and vienna now berlin is often on home for 20 years is finally doing the honors. as a get into that's when i was in internationally there are very few people who use a camera so powerfully in an effort to influence society. and then all at once in the $99.00 days off appear the only one to emerge in the post soviet environment and his distinctive approach is to look at social injustice and at the physical and really think about it. even if we kind of has an eye for the weakest and most

vulnerable he doesn't think of himself as a do gooder his older works examine the heroes of socialism and poke fun at them. all his work in photography has included some form of criticism of the world's ruling classes. that if you want a more. traditional answer would be that i'm interested in people and i mean you know i'm interested in the appearances but i'm you know journalist you know i'm not interested in what these people are what they do and human. but in their appearance what my eyes show me for just one of them where you go out of my you go out of that . and what his eyes show him is what other is all too often refused to see but he forces us to look and that is the essence of lives are to. eat.

that aluminum and other chemicals are. next in the airplane fuel tanks in the garden so that we can be manipulated with money for me it smells and tastes a bit like strawberry dextrose but it sold a quite a high price and these are all antidote to combat the negative effects of these so-called cam trails and even i was speaking from this is we're going to claim trees. is ironic response a pentacle of diaper trials still it would be all too easy for him to just make fun of new age ism we live in uncertain times he says and it off a simple solutions to complex problems a bracelet made in china is transformed into a techie on information bend simply strap it around achieve the toothpaste and banish to take. new age beliefs fit perfectly in the post-race era where claims have become more important than fact brainwashing is easy to.
