If there is 1 photo that is rebellious, mystical, rebellious and iconic that I have taken, it is this one. In January 2024, I was on my way to the Reichstag in Berlin when, by pure chance, I ended up at a farmers' protest.
The man wearing this mask happened to be standing a perfect distance from the brandenburger tor. I was about to walk back to my hotel when I decided to take a 2nd lap past the protesters. I could really mega close up this photo with a fixed focal point!, really, I felt like a journalist at that moment.
The photo is so iconic because hacker organisation Anonymous is a semi-ethical hacking group. No one in the world actually knows who runs the organisation, how many people participate in it and then what actions are actually taken. At least, I have no clue about that.
Now Berlin is anyway a city with an alternative character and a fraught history, which is precisely why this photo is so iconic because history and contemporary politics can come together so beautifully in this photo, because even today germany is a powerful economy with a lot of influence in europe. and not everything that happens is visible.
This photo is extremely suitable for the hackers, gamers, alternates, the pioneers, rebels and people who like striking symbolism.
