The Kids of 2022

KALTBLUT presents THE KIDS OF 2022 by Hakan Keppler captured by Merel Daantje. As we all have survived(?) ANOTHER lockdown and another stop of our life‘s journey, we did use the time to go even more inwards and think about our lives and how we want to change stuff and get revolutional?

Since it is possible to explore a little bit more and the pandemic came to an end BUT the war happens in front of the house everyone is in action/tiger mood and SO ARE WE, combining our old and new skills in one shooting. Creation is the key and a final statement is an aim! But what does 2022 even mean? Are we done yet with our problems or are we even getting worse? Is there another chance of a worldwide pandemic and was this just the start? Is Europe in a war situation soon too? Are we all in front of a non-existing world? How will we go on with life? Is there anything that we can rely on? Is everything unclear…still? The answers are unclear but the motivation to change life again to something amazing and spontaneous and growing is our main goal.

!!!THAT‘S THE POWER WE APPARENTLY HAVE BUT NOT EXPECTED!!!

We love/hate life and we are willing to invest all of us to start the game and get things done.
2022, a journey that already began two years ago.
