Nothing in these photos is staged; Timm Rautert captured them over a decade from families in Germany. At least not by him: Only the families themselves know how their homes looked before he visited them between 2007 and 2017—whether they were tidied up, rearranged, or changed for his sake. The photographer had so little influence that not even a specific location was determined for the families to be photographed within their homes: sometimes they sit on chairs, sometimes on the edge of a table, sometimes on a bed, and sometimes on a sofa. Always arranged like the Holy Family, in a triptych format. In the portraits, not only the parent couples and their children take center stage, although they are the focus, but also their life concepts, which seem to be recognizable in the details: in overflowing bookshelves.
