representation

a pattern still in use *
from an exhibition about maps and travel reports.

* hartz4 hieß mal stütze - ein wort, das eine zukunftsperspektive beinhaltet. ich bin mit einem anderen bild von arbeitslosigkeit aufgewachsen als das, das jetzt in den medien gemalt wird.
*und auch mein bild vom islam war anders gefärbt als es das jetzt wird.
