22 May World Press Photo 2018
During the visit to World Press Photo 2018 last week we saw several photographs reflecting the social reality of our time: political conflicts, wars, pollution, health problems, etc. This year’s winning photo belongs to venezuelan photographer Ronaldo Schemidt. The photo was made during violent fights between protesters and police in Caracas on December, 3, 2017.
There were many interesting photos, but in addition to Ronaldo’s, there was an image from Swedish Photographer Magnus Wennman, about a new disease: Resignation Syndrome. These are young immigrants in Sweden who have suffered from violence and suddenly go into a coma: they disconnect from reality to sleep, just sleep.
