COORDINATION translated the conceptual content of the temporary exhibition into a space of roughly 600 sqm in the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn and created a diverse and intriguing exhibition environment. The centrally located ”Press Office” looks deeper into media imagery in the face of world events today through the use of facetted photo screens and media installations.
