With the exception of Rineke Dijkstra, who made her photographs at very different spots of the world, all of the artists worked with a surrounding immediately familiar to them. Bernhard Fuchs photographed the inhabitants of Helfenberg, a small town inUpper Austria, from where he himself is from.

Nancy Honey who lives in London, photographed girls between the age of eleven and fourteen, merging the "public" realm of the children's school life with their private one. In "Summer Promenade" Vladimir Kupriyanov follows women in Moscow streets. In a series of portraits recently completed, he documented the faces of persons listening with a keen attention to a public speech being held by a politician. Tania Lieberman focuses on the spatial surroundings of her protagonists - all of them young men - who she photographed in their Moscow apartments.
Katharina Mayer is interested in Turkish women who live in Düsseldorf. Her shots concentrate on the individual person posing for the camera.
