“I am interested in people. But it has to go further than just under the surface.” Herlinde Koelbl’s photographs, in her own words, read like a visual novel of our epoch. This volume shows her work in all its diversity: pictures on the themes of children, the USA, fine people, being and appearance, Jewish portraits, sexuality, victims and faith, old age and death, abstractions, relationships, dwellings, self-presentations, writers and traces of power.
