Streets of the World
For the first time in history it is possible to visit all countries in the world in a free, transparent and fast way.
It's possible; therefore I want to see and do it. I want to find out what the world looks like in our time. How far
have we come, how much are we alike and how different are we? I want to meet
the people from my time. To capture a small part, but a part indeed of their lives.
Today mankind as a species is more connected than ever. The very serious problems
we face today are global. Climate change, worldwide poverty and terrorism are not
regional problems, but the shared problems of a divided world.
Modern information networks such as television and the internet make problems of
someone on the other side of the world our own, whether we like it or not.
This is why I think it is time for a project that shows the world as one world. By taking
photos and making films in the streets of the world, in all the capitals of the world,
I hope to be able to make a comparison between those streets.
The combination of these streets will create a portrait of what our world looks like today. A positive look on what
humanity looks like at the beginning of the 21st century. All countries. Thus making visible what humanity is.
Who we are.
