Since 2017 the German-Russian photographer Snezhana von Büdingen-Dyba has followed the life of Sofie, a young woman with Down's syndrome. "When I began photographing Sofie she was eighteen. She had just left school and spent most of her days on the family property, in a small village in eastern Germany. Sofie comes from a well-known family of antique dealers and grew up in the magical atmosphere of that farm. For four years, at the rhythm of my regular visits, I lived their daily life and shared with Sofie the joys and the sorrows of her first experience of love." The scenes were caught by immersion in Sofie's world, and the photographer speaks of a deep mutual trust; what gives the series its force is the universality of the story it tells.
