Running for the pure fun of running: without frills, noncommercialised, no medals, no winning. Instead of all that, purely the amazing stretch from Los Angeles to Las Vegas: this is the Speed Project, which is being held this year for the third time.

The world’s most populated country is grappling with the consequences of its radical industrialisation policies. The beneficiaries are rubbing their hands with glee, while the disadvantaged fall by the wayside. A journey through a world between modernity and tradition.
China‘s economic miracle: a migrant worker at Chongqing Harbour. Through the fog, the megacity seems like the backdrop of a stage. The photographer has enhanced the contrast in his images

After more than fifty years of civil war, FARC guerillas and the Colombian government have signed a peace agreement. The fighters have left the years of hope and anxiety behind them. Federico Rios Escobar was the first photographer to visit the elite Front 34 unit before their demobilisation.
Fighter Aristides guides a boat to the Front 34 camp. Never before had a journalist been invited there – but the times are changing

The FARC rebel camp stools are witness to the tense atmosphere of waiting, to exhausting marches through the Colombian rainforest, and to long hours remaining in the same position. The guerilla fighters have few personal possessions. They have carefully decorated and personalised their stools

The red flag raised over the Reichstag in Berlin: a dramatic moment in history which has lost none of its symbolic power, despite the fact that the scene itself was entirely staged. It was this image which made the Soviet photographer Khaldei, who would have turned 100 this year, world famous.
An earlier version of the famous image, still depicting the supporting soldier with a watch on each wrist. The victory flag atop Berlin’s Reichstag, 2 May 1945

O n g ua r d “This picture was taken at Bromo, a volcano on the Indonesian island of Java. The explosive eruption and loud rumbling scared the horse, making it rear onto its hind legs. The rare combination of a volcanic eruption, a horse and its rider – all three conspired to turn it into a perfect moment.” Riksa Dewantara Leica M240 with Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 Asph
