The Fotobus Society, founded by Christoph Bangert, is a network comprising of over 1,300 photographers studying at German, European and international media and photography schools. The society offers its members an extensive range of cultural and social activities. At the heart of the community is a 30-year-old bus that regularly takes members to photo festivals, symposia and specialist events, and also doubles as a mobile photography school.

The book is the fourth volume in a series that showcases selected works by the members and thus provides a fascinating insight into the world of young photography. Creating images is a means of discovering one’s surroundings, raising awareness of social problems and questioning one’s own personality. The past two years have severely unsettled some of the certainties of the Global North that were thought to be unshakeable. Now more than ever, the members of the Fotobus Society have found it pressing to network with each other and seek community. The selected works celebrate the power of storytelling while underscoring the responsibility that storytellers have in so doing.
