Annie, Michael, Chantal and Harris are talking about their works

Although some time has passed since the last Fotodoks Festival in October 2017, the topic ME:WE is still highly topical and exciting. It's worth taking a look back at the work that was exhibited at the time - or better, at the interviews we did with our guests on site in Munich.
