WARRIORS / GENERATION EUROPE

Paul Hossfeld‘s WARRIORS - Generation - Europe project addresses an European generation that is dealing with common cross-border issues. It is a freely accessible photo exhibition that is held using urban furnishings, such as backlit advertising billboards, in public spaces. The installation uses 20 or more mobile poster display cases as well as bus stops and other public advertising billboards.
The project showcases full body portraits of young European adults between the ages of 25 and 37 from the photo serie WARRIORS. The exhibition tours 28 European capitals and is accompanied by a series of conferences and discussions. Here, people from various backgrounds discuss and reflect on European culture, society and identity.

The objective is to establish the similarities and differences of the various cultures in Europe. This discursive research focuses on the perspective of this generation of young adults. This European project is first and foremost a broad- minded and easily accessible forum. The cultural origin and age do not play a role here, as the topics addressed span several generations. The exhibition will open in Strasbourg in spring 2013. It will draw to a close in Berlin in 2017.
