During the photography project participants a searching for traces following various topics such as housing, food, mobility, youth life style, religion, communication etc. and will commonly explore the different, metropolitan and rural, surroundings they live in. Participants are actively and result-orientated involved in all project steps. An exhibition will be curated, developed and presented to the public in both countries.
