give us any specific but i have no need to keep up with a day you might want to go vote for over a mention on the 4th time from the full disclosure assuming that we can unlock the words about mr obama says the family that announcing dragons was cornered as called the harvard. degree books on. because society is becoming increasingly empty septic. all it needs me is this word .

and selfies snap chat instagram we live in a visual world constantly immersed in images slick filtered images that don't so much capture reality as create a new fake one. but there are photographers pushing back against this glut of glossy some of them are even willing to risk their lives for a picture that matters what drives them arch 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 and 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 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 ground dom

of war photography she freely admits that she relishes adventure. then sure this is still we like then share all of us the sea even the is this but the this is not the main thing of course i feel a concept in. a new. country or a new situation any drama. i either one way very is interesting is. that the. tragedy of these cities still be. the war photographer. gens immediately when you see something on t.v. . the hate being the way which is not with the weapons 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. in defeat that she stood thinking lanes if these. no i get the ones. the truth. they know they can be. really sincere thievin and the women. and for behaves in front of them like maine if you see these dramatic picture of the bombardment up i still have nightmares even today but the speeches this made of the day if people are shouting the chin or the these should on the in the picture i believe.

between head and. we do we that. in color between this and. i am very extreme a night or noise of being like 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 conflict photography it was that as i got to the larger newspapers the need to have somebody covering places like afghanistan or iraq became essential and and at that point i felt it was my responsibility to as an american photojournalist to cover those all those places where the u.s.

troops are involved. so it's a sense of duty that drives carolyn cole even though she takes pictures for a daily newspaper or images have the depth of paintings snapshots for posterity. these pictures are not easy to take the ninety's a look at so it's not something that i do for fun it's something that i feel is my life purpose. the exhibition demonstrates that is different because 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. as terrible as reality can be it can also be sublime habitats and living space are

what interest photographer tom hagen. homo sapiens 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 at denial 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 especially here in germany when you fly from munich and see the countryside slipping away beneath you. and you notice that over 90 percent of our german countryside has been altered by humans i didn't realize that at 1st. blush just 0.6 percent of the planet as wilderness claiming everything else describing it says cultivated. pagan spent months journeying through these landscapes researching how our needs shape our environment. the result is his book habitat. the chapter 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 our still. at home on earth look oddly aesthetic. the accuracy with which we order and aligned the chaos of nature the resourcefulness we have in constantly developing new technologies to secure our existence. for. each picture has a strange beauty but leaves behind a bitter taste. to their very appealing also in terms of color their 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 exceeds. the golden field of rape scene. one of the 4 monocultures 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. 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 environmental catastrophes then we humans will start to think don't think that i'm. not saying. we think it's enough to remake your pits successfully dug for the exploitation of construction materials and turn them into

lakes for us and if you. 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. almost say peons doesn't like to exercise restraint as the last 300000 years have shown tom hagan's artistic mission is to document the results. and. you. if i want to work on your hours a week and never see my family and die in early age that's my private if. i want to use media this was.

excessive well american photographer lauren greenfield is fascinated by the super rich binge consumerism does it make us happy generation wealth is the name of her exhibition at hamburg's. i'm going to photographer for 25 years with my lens focused on well. i noticed 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 so few performers brand models the rich and the celebrity want to be i really try to show people's humanity i try not to be judged mantell 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 the 150 photos 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 i'm usually 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 our culture i love . greenfield has also made

a documentary about her work it's been screened in international best doubles and can now also be seen at the exhibition i house a classic work in almost every color the bags store 20 celsius 33 pounds of gold diamonds given to me by the world. i know the names of the current ash and that i 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 that unfortunately.

brands fill in the blank. 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. the sell out of values could not be portrayed more poignantly. but it's sad that the desolation of global capitalism can also be so entertaining. borys 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 hero of the maya moore take a photo 1st and then ask. if the answer is no i didn't they go. throughout his career boris' me highlight 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 her keefe 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 would have thought if 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 say this misfortune is preprogrammed

a look at those these people are no scientists or scholars and then you know you're in there and you are the unit that. the collapse of the soviet union pushed the lowest reaches of society even lower but me her life captures his subjects pride. they look into his lens with confidence in spite of the misfortunes they've suffered. for them or at their you would you go where or where bush and these are people who have been pushed out by life. they live their lives about a mile and there's no real connection between this life and ignore. i'm a life. i myself was part of their connection with norman a lot it was more a 3rd kenya thought a minute. before sleep after drinking is the title of a major berlin exhibition that are exploring speak birthday. some of the poses seem to recall christian motifs her life explains that many people carry poses like

these inside them and points to an example. of growth 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 that you wouldn't get stalled. and then he lay down. and the result was an almost religious looking. at your phone call though you. me 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. project. at the time it was impossible in your crane to do anything at all

except collect the pictures. now only highlights no longer has to fight for recognition following exhibitions in new york city london and vienna now berlin his off and on home for 20 years is finally doing the honors. as a script. internationally there are very few people who use a camera so powerfully in an effort to influence the 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. but if you want a more. traditional answer would be that i'm interested in people you know i'm interested in the appearances i mean but i'm you know journalist you know i'm not interested in what these people are what they're doing. of but in their appearance what my eyes showed me just while. my you go over. and what his eyes show him is what others all too often refuse to see but he forces us to look there is the essence of forest which i loves art. and. next stop curiosities in the framed parallel world icons push his stock and trade for his

current project he immersed himself in the new age scene this year looks like an ordinary baton yet for those in the know it's an energy sell to make everything all right and can be bought online. close to 61 to 26 year a description says that it is charged with all different kinds of energies as modoc energies tacking on energy reverse osmosis and so on all of which emit particularly strong its soft energies to give something the. plastic promise to cure all ills this triple extension plug is a power harmonizer for hi fi equipment it costs just $19.00 euros to end the war in syria by taking part in an earthling ritual as part of his research not shiny bought products but visited esoteric online forums and attended trade fairs and

a bit like strawberry dextrose but it sold quite a high price and these are all antidotes to combat the negative effects of these so-called chem trails and even i was weakening from this and so going to claim trees. position is ironic response a pentacle of paper trails 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 off the simple solutions to complex problems a bracelet made in china is transformed into a techie on information banned simply structured around a cheaper 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 smooth and used as the worst thing is not that there are people who actually make these claims but that they find followers and if these theories are cleverly embedded maybe

some of them go out dressed like this to to show themselves or to make kindred spirits. people aged between. 18 and 72 women men blue collar workers professionals may like switching roles and reinventing themselves. i like these people more and more because i'm not wary of them any more of this may make me see that we're all like children in our own way and that takes away the distance between us and others just a basic understanding that we're all just little kids all of it crazy and if you're in the dish be no. photographers with a unique way of seeing artists with courage curiosity and talent. to
