全球化世界的故事——瑞士摄影展

全球化世界故事项目由瑞士开发与合作机构于2002年发起。该项目由瑞士开发与合作机构主持并出资赞助，由瑞士摄影师丹尼尔•施瓦茨担任主席兼制片人，他在不同的国家任命10位摄影师拍摄各种纪实题材。

瑞士开发与合作机构的一部分职能就是提高公众对发展中国家的认识。瑞士发展与合作机构支持全球化世界故事项目，努力促进在瑞士帮助弥合文化鸿沟的活动。通过建立感性和互动的联系，这些努力旨在帮助人们更好地了解南方和东方的人民并促进与他们的团结。此外，这些努力也是为了让公众了解其他的文化，帮助南方的艺术家，促进发展合作并鼓励公众提供支持。

制片人丹尼尔•施瓦茨任命了10位摄影师来描述亚洲、北美、非洲、欧洲和拉美全球化的各个方面。他们的故事表达了一个单一的主题。我们只有考虑到不断的变化能理解这个主题。他们构成了全球化世界故事项目。

全球化世界故事项目涵盖周边地区和中心、成功与灾难、逃避与逃亡；从新型全球消费社会与新的跨国精英的是与非到发展中国家或新的第四世界对资源的争夺，到文化重组和主题保护的各种形式。该项目提出的问题是新空间的出现是如何改变我们的人生的。在一个“流动的空间”，人员、商品、货币、技术、知识和非法商品可以在国与国之间自由流动。

此次展览本次展览的图片共241张，因此我们看到，他们面对的问题是共同的，也是有差异的。他们在拍摄过程中呈现问题、涉及的面也是有所不同的。此次展出十几位艺术家的作品，其共同特征是从更广泛的社会层面与现实发生关系，站在一个主体的立场对社会现实进行全面的感受、理性的分析和深刻的思考，以一种积极参与的精神，客观地体现了全球社会化过程。

TALES FROM A GLOBALIZING WORLD
INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITIOM                         
The project of “TALES FROM A GLOBALIZING WORLD” was initiated by SDC in year 2002. It is administrated and sponsored by the organization. The project’s chairman and producer is photographer Daniel Schwartz from Switzerland, who has assigned ten photographers for on-the-spot record subjects in different countries. 
One part of SDC’s function is to enhance the public’s understanding on developing countries. SDC supports “TALES FROM A GLOBALIZING WORLD” project, is doing its best to enhance the activities which help make up the gulf of culture. By establishing the connection between sensibility and interation, the effort aims to help people know better about people from developing and oriental countries, and to enhance the unity with them.

Moreover, the effort is to let the public know other cultures, to help the artists from developing countries, to enhance development and cooperation, and to encourage the public for support.
The producer Daniel Schwartz has assigned ten photographers to describe every aspect of Asia’s, North America’s, Africa’s, Europe’s and Latin America’s globalization. Their stories have expressed one single theme. Only the consecutive changes can make us understand this theme. They have constituted

“The Story of World’s Globalization” project.
“TALES FROM A GLOBALIZING WORLD” project includes centers and surrounding areas, success and catastrophes, evasions and abscondences. It also includes yes versus no about new global consumer’s society and new cross-country elite, developing countries’/the new Fourth World’s struggle for resources, various forms of cultural re-structure and theme protection. The question which is brought forward by the project is how the appearance of new space changes our lives. In a “floating space”, people, products, currency, technologies, knowledge and illegal products can float freely among all countries.

There are all together 241 photographs in the exhibition. Therefore, we can see that they are facing the same problem; yet they also differ from each other. In the process of photographing, the photographs have shown and referred to different aspects. The intercommunity of the exhibited works of more than ten artists is that they show facts on a more extensive social range; they feel, analyze and meditate the social facts from a main-body standpoint; and they embody the process of global socialization objectively with a positive spirit.
