Because who is perfect? Get closer


Disabled mannequins elicit astonished looks from passers-by on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse. Between the perfect mannequins, there are  figures with scoliosis or brittle bone disease modelling the latest fashions. One has shortened limbs; the other a malformed spine. The campaign has been devised for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by Pro Infirmis, an organisation for the disabled. Entitled "Because who is perfect? Get closer.", it is designed to provoke reflection on the acceptance of people with disabilities. Director Alain Gsponer has captured the campaign as a short film.

Video footage of the Syracuse police tasing a disabled man for standing on a bus. He has a spinal injury which is why he stands instead of sitting. This is an obvious abuse of power by the officers involved in the incident.
