‘HOPE & FEAR’ is a global video project with people from 6 continents projected onto three screens. People on the streets - teachers, street hawkers, policemen, artists, priests and imams, children, teenagers, parents and grandparents - speak directly to the viewer. Each of them answers the same 2 questions: ‘What is your biggest fear?’ and ‘What is your biggest hope?’, creating a chorus of different languages from South America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America.
