Inventing Peace revolves around the question of how we look at the world, but do not see it when there is so much war, injustice, suffering and violence. What are the ethical and moral consequences of looking, but not seeing, and, most of all, what has become of the notion of peace in all this? In the form of a written dialogue, Wim Wenders and Mary Zournazi consider this question as one of the fundamental issues of our times as well as the need to reinvent a visual and moral language for peace. Inspired by various cinematic, philosophical, literary and artistic examples, Wenders and Zournazi reflect on the need for a change of perception in the everyday as well as in the creation of images. In its unique style and method, Inventing Peace demonstrates an approach to peace through sacred, ethical and spiritual means, to provide an alternative to the inhumanity of war and violence. Their book might help to make peace visible and tangible in new and unforeseen ways.

Unter der Hand und scheinbar absichtslos entwirft Wim Wenders eine eigene kleine Theorie der Wahrnehmung. Er spricht über sein Handwerk, über das Drehbuchschreiben und über die Gefahren und Chancen der neuen visuellen Techniken.

Wim Wenders (geb. 1945), Filmemacher, Schriftsteller, Photograph und Weltreisender, hat seit vielen Jahren eine alte Panoramakamera im Gepäck, die immer dann zum Einsatz kommt, wenn die Fülle oder der Eindruck des Gesehenen das Normalmaß sprengt. Das ist bei einem passionierten Augenmenschen wie Wim Wenders oft der Fall: Landschaften weiten sich ins Unendliche, Horizonte teilen die Welt in Wasser, Erde und Luft; Wüsten und Gebirgszüge überwältigen durch ihr Schweigen, Straßenfronten in Havanna, Berlin, Houston oder Jerusalem ziehen den Blick in die Untiefen der Zivilisation. Aber er bannt auch Zerstörung und Schrecken in Panoramabilder: in seinen Ground Zero-Aufnahmen, die kurz nach dem Attentat entstanden sind, wird deutlich, daß die Oberfläche der Erde einen Riß mehr bekommen hat. Unsere Neuauflage des atemberaubenden Photobands erscheint jetzt als preiswerte Broschur im verkleinerten Format.
