Andreas Reeg Menschen mit Down-Syndrom

Andreas Reeg, an upcoming photographer emphatically pictures four individual people with Down syndrome. Instead of focusing on their disability, he documents their personal ways of successfully dealing with life. In one case it is no exaggeration to even speak of national fame that "Schlappi" has gained in Germany with his rock band "Station 17". Having accompanied the protagonists over several weeks, Reegs intimate pictures evoke ideas of strength and tenderness, of naturalness and dignity. A profound essay by Cora Halder explores societys changing view of the syndrome from its discovery in 1866 by the physician J.L. Down until today. It furthermore deals with therapeutic measures and supportive aids from infancy to adulthood.
