At the end of 2006, about a hundred of my colleagues and friends from all over the world, whom I have met over the last two years, were once again invited to participate in this project. They are mostly young photographers I have encountered at festivals, art fairs and galleries. Many have been close friends for a long while. 69 photographers with more than two hundred works have applied for participation. The aim of the project is to build a network among colleagues and to promote support one another. An expert jury consisting of one journalist (Thomas Gerwers, PROFIFOTO), two gallerists (Nicole Stanner, Galerie f 5.6, Munich; Burkhard Arnold, in focus, Cologne) and one art historian (Diana Edkins, Aperture Foundation, New York) have collaborated with me in the selection of works to be exhibited.

This year, we will have photographers from as far away as San Francisco and Tokyo coming to display their work!
