Photography, Art and Culture: An Insight into Germany’s Refugee World
Herbert Piel documents the arrival of Asylum Seekers to Germany’s Reception Facilities: »Arrival – Refugees in Rhineland-Palatinate« – Exhibitions in Trier, Mainz, Berlin, Edenkoben and Koblenz
(firmenpresse) - Renowned reportage photographer Herbert Piel, has announced a series of private viewings and public exhibitions that portray the arrival of asylum seekers to the reception facilities in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Piel worked in co-operation with the Directorate General for Cultural Heritage and the development agency for the state on the project.
Piel was asked by Development Agency for Rhineland-Palatinate to document the arrival as he had already visiting many of the conflict areas previously.
Piel’s experience, understanding, and knowledge were extremely important in ensuring that this project was handled with the utmost sensitivity.
The reportage not only shows the arrival of the refugees but also the work of the many governmental and voluntary workers. Piel worked in collaboration with the many reception facilities to gain access to the refugees to create a true and accurate picture of the plight of the asylum seekers.
Piel captures the touching image of the many thousands of people living in the cramped reception facilities. These images portray children learning and playing; seemingly relaxed adults; and skeptical teenagers, with a hopeful look in their eye.
The chaotic situation at the cramped facilities has rarely been seen before. However, it does seem unimportant and loses its relevance when looking into some of the children’s eyes.
To use the words of Herbert Piel:
“Let us not forget – no human being leaves his family, his friends, his home by choice. And even it it seems so at the moment that the German welcome culture could not withstand Europe´s reality – one should not be mistaken. Every task and every project earlier or later meets resistance. And nobody said: “This will be easy“. She merely said: “We will make it“. And the world is watching. Made in Germany 2.0.“
