| Als das World Trade Center zusammenbrach Nov 06, 2002 Mit immer gleichen Bildern des zusammenstürzenden World Trade Centers hinterließ die TV-Berichterstattung zum Terror vom 11. September ein Gefühl unwirklicher Distanz. Eine menschlich fassbare Dimension der Tragödie eröffnen dagegen persönliche Eindrücke. Solche Bilder von ergreifender Authentizität zeigt die Fotoausstellung „Here is New York“, in der Profi- und Laienfotografen als Augenzeugen ihre ganz persönliche Sicht von „9-11“ dokumentieren. Die „uralte“ Macht der subjektiven Bilder erläuterte Jens Förster, IUB-Professor für kognitive Psychologie, in seinem Vortrag bei der Eröffnung von „Here is New York“ am 27.10.02 in der Bremer Weserburg. more ... » | |||

Jens Förster, IUB professor of psychology and guest speaker at the opening of “Here is New York” on October 27, 2002, in Bremen, explained the “ancient” cognitive power of such personal impressions. more ... » | |||
