Der Münchner Hobbyfotograf Christian Schweikert stellt in der GOOD TRANSFER Galerie in der Clemensstr.61 , 80303 München (0176-21210950) sein neues Fotoprojekt “Barcelona – Tourism kills the city” vor. Seine Streifzüge durch die katalanische Metropole folgen dabei nicht den üblichen touristischen Pfaden. Den Besuch in Barcelona hat er in ungewöhnlichen Bildern festgehalten. Diese Fotoausstellung arbeitet Auswirkungen des Massentourismus künstlerisch und mit einem Augenzwinkern auf. Seine Fotostreifzüge versuchen die Auswirkungen allgegenwärtiger Touristenmassen in eine Bildsprache zu übersetzen. Warum hat er dieses Thema aufgegriffen?

Die Artikel darin öffnen die Augen und vermitteln, warum heute in Ost-Deutschland der Zulauf zu rechten Gruppen, wie z.B. der AfD so stark ist: In vielen der damaligen Artikeln in den Zeitungen wurde der Mensch direkt angesprochen, gelobt und erhoben. Das Themenspektrum war schmal und die Erklärungen waren einfach gehalten. Heute dagegen sind die Menschen in der ehemaligen DDR der kalten, bösen Welt mit all seinen komplizierten Vorgängen ausgesetzt. Keiner hält mehr schützend die Hand über sie und führt sie nicht mehr durch das Leben. Ich glaube, dass viele …
ORGOSOLO
Some days ago, I read an article in SPIGEL ONLINE about a little village on the island Sardena /Italy called ORGOSOLO. It is about the mafia and the local culture there. I have visited the place some years ago w/o knowing the mafia-background. What I found there were the outstanding graffiti – I’d better call the ‘murales’ as the mexiacans name their monumental wall-paitnings.
