However, we are often confronted with a strain on basic principles and rights. One of which is the racism against racism.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>German photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/davidkossi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">David Kossi<\/a> is based in Munich and dealt with the fight against racism in his project <em>Pantone Human<\/em>. The photos produced were published at the online exhibition &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.photo-deutschland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photo M\u00fcnchen<\/a>.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We all have asked for one at school, a \u201cskin-coloured\u201d pen. We all have used one, a skin-coloured plaster. And we all have never questioned it.&nbsp;<\/p><cite>David Kossi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The photo project <em>Pantone Human<\/em> is the mean by which David is drawing attention to the issue surrounding racism. While racism can be found in many ways, shapes, and forms, David placed his focus on the relation of racism with different skin colours. The project is his the way to urge the stop of racism and focus on what really matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to achieve the greatest affect, models of different origins, different skin tones, and different genders were portrayed. The models were photographed in portrait style through a transparent film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PantoneHuman5.jpg?w=740&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the fight against racism\" class=\"wp-image-16128\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"1024\" width=\"724\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PantoneHuman2.jpg?resize=724%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16138\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The unique feel of film gives the photos a certain edge and perspective. To achieve a vintage look on the photographs, David painted the border of the film in acrylic colours that corresponded to the skin tone of the models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the project, David also decided to avoid a flamboyant styling. Rather he wanted to portray the models in a nude look, to ensure that the audiences attention lie on the beauty and message of the models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PantoneHuman7.jpg?w=740&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the fight against racism\" class=\"wp-image-16129\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/PantoneHuman13.jpg?w=740&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the fight against racism\" class=\"wp-image-16131\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It is such a shame that you are unconsciously confronted with racism when you are a child.
