| "The power of language in images" The photographic competition We were sent a total of 3247 pictures from 46 countries which showed a wide range of interpretation of “The Power of Language”. In January 2007 a jury chose the three winning pictures and a number of 45 entries to be shown in an exhibition. The winners as well as the participants who’s pictures will contribute to the exhibition will be informed personally. The exhibition will be opened June 15, 2007 in the course of the festival “The Power of Language” at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. We were delighted that the competition met such a great response and we will present the results after the exhibition’s opening here on this website. A photographic competition as part of a language project? That may sound at first surprising. Yet in the 21st century, the photograph and its language are a global, multi-layered decodable means of communication. The competition was looking for images that show how language shapes relations among people and the relation of people to their surroundings, the self-understanding of the individual and of whole groups. |
