Thank You very much for taking the time to visit this page

MOTIVATION: In this period of the 'economic crisis' there is a great excuse to exploit and disregard working rights and undermine living conditions for profit. It seems to me that we were blessed with rights that we take for granted and rarely realise that they were established jut a few decades earlier through fights and huge sacrifices. It is even harder to realise that children are forced to work in certain parts of the world. Slavery still exists

FILM PROJECT: On the 15th December 2009 I started a film project shooting slow motion video portraits which I started to upload on Youtube  (http://www.youtube.com/movingfaces). My aim is to shoot and upload 1.000 of those video portraits of people from all walks of life. 

When I was reading statistics I often came across huge numbers standing for human lives. I thought that by exposing a viewer to the mass of 1.000 "moving faces", which nobody would have the time to watch in its entirety, she or he would re-evaluate the meaning behind numbers we happen to read in statistics.

I decided to start this page alongside the portrait project and possibly inspire some people to donate to an organisation called Anti-Slavery International that fights against forced labour

The following part of the message was ready made from Just Giving and I leave it as is...
