Emotional photography: Vincent Haiges shows war and humanity in Worms
What's new in the world of photography? A very special name stands out: Vincent Haiges. The talented photographer, born in 1988, has made a name for himself in recent years by impressively documenting armed conflicts, human rights violations and migration in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The best part? His works are not only haunting but also emotional, as he depicts people in a way that often goes beyond the shocking events. On November 12, 2025 it is time to discover his pictures in the exhibition “Fault Lines”.
Vincent Haiges has chosen the art of photography as a tool to tell stories about the horrors of war while illuminating the human aspects of these conflicts. He was awarded the prestigious “World Press Photo Award” in 2024 for a touching image of a mother hugging her son returning from the war. As SWR emphasizes, Haiges does not want to show bloody front-line photos that could scare people away. Rather, he wants to represent people's love, lives and dreams.
Insights into the exhibition
The exhibition “Fault Lines” opens its doors in the DAS WORMSER Theater, a place that is known not only for culture but also for conferences. Visitors can admire the works free of charge from Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the human stories behind the conflicts and to experience the photographic art in its full diversity.
Haiges not only works with major media outlets such as “Die Zeit” and “The Guardian”, but also with NGOs such as Médecins Sans Frontières and the United Nations. Through his reporting, he raises awareness of humanitarian crises and promotes understanding of the complex stories that often remain in the shadows of the headlines. The photographer now lives in Berlin and regularly shares his knowledge and experiences through public lectures. His Instagram profile (@vincent_haiges_) gives an insight into his current work and creative processes.
The art of photography
What makes photography so special? Its origins date back to the 11th century and it has evolved enormously over time. Photography, which means something like “drawing with light”, combines technical finesse with artistic standards. Digital photography has revolutionized the field, as Wikipedia highlights. Haiges incorporates this technique to capture moving stories and create vivid memories.
The role of photography is becoming increasingly important in our society. It is not only a tool for journalists like Haiges, but also a means to create emotional connections and make critical topics accessible. While the discussion about the artistic demands of photography continues, Haiges brings a breath of fresh air to this topic by putting people in the foreground. Anyone interested in photography will see more than just pictures in “Fault Lines”; he will experience stories, emotions and memories.
Join Vincent Haiges as he shares his perspectives and offers a glimpse of humanity in the midst of crises. The exhibition is not only a celebration of photography, but also a call for mindfulness and human dignity.
