While the tragic conflict in the Middle East continues to polarize public opinion in Austria and Germany, photographer Tobias Steinmaurer is on a quest within his community to find individuals with Palestinian and Israeli roots who stand side by side for peace. A combination of a photo series and interviews aims to create a space for discourse, providing viewers, and ultimately the photographer himself, with insights into the complex challenges that arise from advocating for peace. Through more intimate one-on-one settings, the goal is to generate closeness and immediacy, making the human suffering in the war more understandable. Tobias Steinmaurer is committed to giving a platform to individuals advocating for unity and peace in society, thereby making them more visible. He sees this as an attempt to contribute through his photography to counter tendencies of division, anti-Semitism, and racism within the Austrian and German speaking countries. The photo series is to be understood as an open project presented in exhibitions and media, continuously growing. The key statements from the interviews are mounted next to the individuals in the photographs.
