Publisher's Synopsis
Helmhaus Zurich is showing the fifth series of exhibitions Welt-Bilder - a lively assemblage of up-to-the-minute, international photographs. There are eight positions, each an example of different worldviews. With its committed approach, the exhibition is an emotional roller-coaster, showing scenes ranging from drugged-up teenagers in California to the war in Afghanistan, from living situations in Cairo, Mumbai and Shanghai to portraits from the gay and lesbian scene in South Africa.
