The exhibition titled “The World as One” covers the last decade of the last century, which allowed us to see East and West as a whole again after a long break with the lifting of the Iron Curtain and the reunification of Germany. The photographs in the exhibition draw attention to the social, political and cultural consequences of this historical situation in the 1990s.

We think of news photographers as reckless adventurers rushing from country to country, from disaster to disaster in pursuit of sensationalism with their cameras and gear loaded. However, the situation was a little different for the photographers participating in the exhibition. His interests were mainly sensitive visual news rather than the pursuit of disturbing or even shocking sensational photographs. This approach has led some of the younger generation of photographers to develop an independent visual style. They made great efforts to increase the aesthetic and psychological impact of the visual images in their works.

However, the fact that his photographs have an artistic purpose and a high aesthetic show that he goes beyond documentary photography. It can be said that the joint effort of the artists is to reach an innovative form of expression that aims to go far beyond reporting current events.

All of them are not photographers who do the work required of them in the narrow sense, but people who, like a writer, leave their mark on a news story with their own individual visuals and specialize in a specific subject and a special visual language.

The exhibition does not discriminate between their own work and the photographs they take for others, shows the world as a whole beyond the given work, as it is and openly to reality, invites reflection rather than shocking them with their personal stances, and honors them both verbally and in essence, rather than exposing them. It consists of works by respected artists.
