The French photographer Willy Ronis (1910 – 2009) is often mentioned in the same breath as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau as one of the foremost »humanist photographers,« his work centering on facets of human life.

Christoph Kniel and Ilja Mess portray young adults in three cities – in Russia, Turkey and Morocco. In deliberately unspectacular yet intense photographs, they get closer to their subjects, creating a many-layered picture of their lives and juxtaposing it with scenes of the urban environment. We get a sense of how surroundings are capable of shaping people’s lives, slowing them down or inspiring them to move forward. Just like social structures, religion, or role models – as well as the district these young people live in, their street and their friends.

For Ekrem Yalçindag as a conceptual artist, he does not consider it absolutely necessary that the »magic hand« of the artist is involved. For him, it is much more important that a work is accurately thoughtout, and that the technique is accurately implemented – only the two of these together produce the desired result.
