Human Conditions
Catalogue Photofestival 2009
What determines a person's lot? In Huma Conditions, the catalogue accompanying the 16th Noorderlicht International Photofestival 2009, six curators reveal their own vision of social and individual struggles and the way in which they shape the circumstances in which people live. From the Gaza Strip to the barrios of Caracas, from refugee centres to the loneliness behind front doors, Human Conditions sketches a penetrating picture of what it mean to be human.
