Exhibition : « Conflict, Time, Photography » at the Museum Folkwang
"Conflict, Time, Photography" presents the many facets of the artistic portrayal of armed conflicts using the medium of photography.

Freedom! goes in search of the power of the image in a rapidly changing Arab world. Photography has the power to make or break regimes. Whilst the ubiquitous image of the dictator may create a personality cult around leaders in authoritarian regimes, photography can also serve as a primary catalyst for revolutions and upris...
