The Fotobus Society, set up by
Christoph Bangert, is a network that connects more than 400 photography
students from 29 German and European universities and photography
schools. Members can benefit from a wide range of cultural and social
activities offered by the association. At the heart of the community is a
30-year-old bus serving as a mobile photography school that regularly
carries members to photo festivals, symposia, and professional events.
Over the years, the association has firmly established itself as a
promoter of cultural and academic exchange within the international
photography scene.


This book, showcasing selected works by
members, inaugurates a series that will be published annually by Verlag
Kettler. The projects presented in this first edition offer an overview
of different contemporary approaches that oscillate between documentary
and conceptual photography, challenging and crossing the boundaries of
the genre. Many of these works have already received international
awards. Collected in a single volume, they provide intriguing insights
into today's young European world of photography.
