Verena von Gagern-Steidle, one of Germany's leading author-photographers, presents an extraordinary autobiography in this volume: the book unites text and image on equal footing. The photographs have been selected so that each image could be represented by a word and each word could be illustrated by an image. The influence of her grandfather on her love for photography is at the beginning and forms the first of many possible arrangements of the sequence of images in her personal photographic history since the early 1970s. She explores how various stages of her life intertwine with photography as a medium, as art, as theory, and as a uniquely young history of its own.
