SIGNS – Zwischen Hoffnung und Widerstand

Menschen hinterlassen Spuren. Graffiti, Symbole, Wände und Fragmente erzählen von Hoffnung, Widerstand, Erinnerung und Sehnsucht. Mal humorvoll, mal kritisch oder romantisch halten sie den Zeitgeist der Orte fest, denen ich auf meinen Reisen begegnet bin, und ergänzen Humans um die gesellschaftliche Stimme ihrer Zeit.

Jede Spur erzählt von einem Menschen, der einmal hier war. Manche Orte erzählen dieselbe Geschichte, auch wenn niemand mehr dort ist.

Jede Spur wird irgendwann Erinnerung.
