“Across the River is a project of German and Polish photography students who examined the changes, dreams, and realities in the border area between Germany and Poland over a period of one year. The 16 photographers depict the living conditions and circumstances in a region at the periphery of two countries from a very personal point of view. They have experienced an area which is often enough simply passed through hurriedly but whose history is richer and more varied than that of many large cities.”
