Cover issue 5

We have the winner of the cover-competition for the fifth issue. The decision has been anything but simple, here you get it: Our new cover! Thanks so much to all photographers who submitted works for the competition!

Statement of Thanh Long, Vietnamese, photo-artist, living in Germany for more than a decade, based in Berlin:

Both, my grandma and my grandpa, fought in three big wars (Indochina/Japan-Vietnam/US-Vietnam). The wonder: They didn’t have any vengeful or bad feelings towards the people coming from any of these formerly enemy-countries. They lived the contrary: austerity, sacrifice, altruism and a will to live!
