After the student movements in the 1960s, again protests led by adolescents and young adults have been growing worldwide for about 5 years. The means of the climate movement - from demonstrations to symbolically powerful performances to civil disobedience - have changed increasingly in recent years and are sometimes accompanied by emotional discussions. The two photographers, Paula Winkler and Sibylle Fendt, have been accompanying campaigns for months and documenting participants and tools of various climate movements. The works, which were only created shortly before FOTODOKS, enable a differentiated view of the various groups, which are more and more denigrated and standardized by the media and representatives of conservative parties. With a mixture of documentary photographs, staged portraits and still lifes, they draw the picture of a generation that feels compelled to act.
