Background information
Since the invention of television we're able to witness events from all over the world. This series 'TV Toes' by Dutch photographer Gijs van den BERG is about passive activism. It's a reaction on the modern way of complaining about all things going on in the world. Instead of heading to the streets, people choose to sit on their couches to react on current topics. It was part of the Fotobiennal in Malmö, Sweden in 2015 as well as published as a small publication in 2016.
