The Face of Human Rights attempts to present all

aspects of human rights visually and make them

tangible. Over 500 photographs show human

rights infringements world-wide and the tireless

struggle to implement and preserve those rights.

The extensive selection of texts explores the

background and creates a dense network of links.

With contributions by Slavenka Drakulic´, Carlos

Fuentes, Ryszard Kapus´cin´ski, Alexander Kluge,

Sima Samar, Susan Sontag, Wole Soyinka,

and Margrit Sprecher
