Organised by photo service company CEWE and German TV station NDR, the exhibition is based on a long-term project created by ARD television correspondent Philipp Abresch, who has distributed disposable cameras in crisis zones for the past 15 years.
A month after the typhoon, Abresh distributed 100 disposable cameras among Tacloban's children and teenagers, so that they might capture what they considered to be important. The result was a total of almost 4000 images: snapshots and spontaneous photographs, some shocking or sad, but the majority of them full of energy, humour and joie-de-vivre.
The outdoor exhibition in front of Hamburg's Deichtorhallen, comprising a selection of 40 photographs, was curated by Ingo Taubhorn.
