Startling Photos Juxtapose the Tourists and Refugees on the Island of Kos
















Ciao Jörg, how are you?
I’m good, thanks.
What is photography for you?
A ticket to the world.
What is Tourists vs. Refugees about?
This summer the Greek island of Kos has become a bottleneck of the global refugee stream from the Middle East to Europe. Two worlds collided when in the summer months of 2015 thousand of Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans and Pakistani were landing on the popular holiday island while Germans, British and Swedes were relaxing in the sun, bathed in the Mediterranean Sea and ate Gyros.
