More and more often, elections lead to a vote that amounts to a stalemate: from Brexit to the presidential elections in the USA. The attitudes between political opponents are often so hardened that it is difficult to mediate. Life in homogeneous groups, favored by segregation and social media, leads to the disappearance of thinking in social dimensions. Because it ignores what modern societies are all about: diversity, the need for communication. In the exhibition and in the accompanying catalogue , the 8th Festival for Photography f/stop Leipzig under the curatorial direction of Spector Books publishers Anne König and Jan Wenzel explores the question of how photography can be a medium of democratic and social mediation.
