Experience energy poverty

Life without safe and clean energy is still a daily - and above all nocturnal - reality for many millions of people in poor regions of the world.

The photo exhibition "On a small flame" makes the experience of energy poverty understandable in a striking way: it takes place in the dark. Visitors look at the extraordinary photographs by Eduardo Sorteras Jalil with torches. This immerses them in the everyday lives of people for whom charcoal is the only significant source of energy.

Among other things, the exhibition tells of the difference a solar system makes in a maternity ward or how a water turbine changes the life of a small town.

The exhibition space is a simple rectangular cube made of black opaque and fireproof blackout fabric, supported by a black aluminium frame: 3 metres wide, 5 metres long and 2.75 metres high. Photos and small information boards with texts and illustrations hang in the completely dark interior, which visitors view with torches. The exhibition is supported by a sound collage.

The exhibition can be set up by two to three people in 4–6 hours. Misereor will provide at least one experienced fitter to assist with setting up and dismantling. At least one other person (e.g. a caretaker) must be available throughout the entire set-up process.

The truss system is assembled using bolts and clips. All you need is the aluminium hammer; for dismantling, you will also need a pair of simple pliers. The two loudspeakers are then positioned and wired up. The fabric is in one piece and is pulled over the frame.

The photos (using the gloves provided) and text panels are attached to the fence panels according to the enclosed plan, using clips, small hooks and magnets on the crossbars of the fence panels. The fence panels are then unhooked from the crossbars using black S-hooks.
