DOCUMENTS AND IDENTITIES
- backlighted by global media industry ?
text in finnish and germany
According to the main idea of Backlight this exhibition is a focus on how young photographers interprete their social, political and personal situation in Europe at the end of the milleneum. The young generation has grown up with multimedia since the very beginning of their visual experience.

The postindustrial settings are not only responsible for their difficulty to find work but the postindustrial settings have also transformed the ideas of realities, the visual experiences and the communicative interpretation of images. Far behind the media critics of the 70th and 8oth, we are facing a wide and open stage in which the settings are not any longer divided into reality and fiction.

Whats about orientation, identity and document when “fiction” becames “reality”.
