Robert Steudtner

Between 1907 and 1909, Robert Lohmeyer (1879-1959), a German pioneer of color photography, traveled through the German colonies in Africa and portrayed their landscapes and native peoples in color for the first time, thus fulfilling a laudable purpose; but also laying the foundations for an enduring racist vision of the entire continent.

The candidates live for four weeks in a “sala”, an open bamboo hut, on a tropical beach bay on Phuket. In various games they fight for the title “Realitystar 2020” and for a prize of 50,000 euros. In the course of each episode, additional candidates join the candidate field. At the “Hour of Truth”, the followers have the power to elect two of the candidates who have been drafted before them from the show and are protected from being voted out even at their first “Hour of Truth”. The candidates can earn luxury goods, or lose existing ones. In addition, the candidates must regularly assess themselves in different categories.
