Generation 60

The impact of relocating to a new country is directly proportional to the immigrant’s age: the older he/she is the bigger is the struggle to intake the amount of new impressions and to alter the familiar ways of living. The protagonists of these pictures are very aware of this - every single one came to Germany when they were already in their sixties. An element of surrealism in these productions is an effort to demonstrate the inner world of the characters and their challenge of being trapped between the past and the present.
