Hundreds of thousands of Catholic devotees throng the streets of Manila in a show of religious devotion called the Translación, during the annual Feast of the Jesus Nazareno on January 9, 2025, in Manila City, Philippines.

During the Translación, devotees walk barefoot, jump, and clutch at the cross carried by the life-size statue of Jesus Nazarene, believing it to bring miracles and healing.

The image of the Jesus Nazarene is believed to have been brought to the Philippines by missionaries of the Order of Augustinian Recollects from Mexico in 1606. It is now enshrined in the famous Minor Basilica of the Quiapo Church in the Archdiocese of Manila. Before being transferred to Quiapo in 1868, the life-size statue of the Jesus Nazarene was enthroned at St. John the Baptist Church in Luneta, Manila.

Reportage: Cultural Forces – by Raimond Lueppken

In September 2025, Raimond had the opportunity to accompany Cultural Forces, a group of musicians formed to support the Ukrainian armed forces and bring culture to the front lines through a blend of traditional Ukrainian and international music, including poetry. After each concert they also distribute numerous books, which the soldiers on the front gratefully receive. 

During the four days Raimond lived with Cultural Forces in a house, he spent many hours each day travelling with them in a cramped car on roads that were in very poor condition. In that context he became even more familiar with the Ukrainian landscape, which he used for his photographs taken before, during and after the front-concerts.

The reportage had been prepared for months. Because the subject is sensitive, mutual trust is essential. Being that close to the frontline requires constant caution – no risks can be taken, and everything must be coordinated precisely. Raimond maintained contact with Cultural Forces and local partners in advance so that he could work freely and stay focus on site. 

During the coverage, depending on the situation, he used different cameras: sometimes a small, discreet one, and other times a larger one. In doing so, he documented a landscape scarred by war yet permeated by an impressive sense of normality.
