The story of the book
In 2021 it so happened that I “coincidentally” visited several (great) photo exhibitions. “Coincidentally” they were exhibitions that presented snapshots of the lives of their subjects in all their truth and reality.
I spontaneously dived head over heels into another world that was still foreign to me.
I asked myself: what did the world look like that must have been happening in the background of these captured moments?
