“I met Meena in 2006 when I first visited Mumbai. We chatted and took a picture. Back in Germany, I sent her our photo: To Meena, Chowpatty Beach, Mumbai, India. The letter actually reached the homeless family. That was the beginning of our close friendship, which has now lasted 13 years. Together with Meena, an unusual woman full of energy and warmth, this book was created about her, us and her family.“ — Helena Schätzle

A colorful, lively book about a woman full of contagious soulfulness and love. Meena’s life story: with notes from her diary and photographs by Helena Schätzle.

Konsens

Julia Debus on Konsens: “In the Leporello entitled Konsens, images of landscapes blend together: rural areas, intermediate areas — out of scope of attention, subsistence agriculture, and a lot of space whose use is not obvious at first glance. Areas that seldom form the beginning or end of a journey but are usually crossed. Grasslands, rock formations, scrub, trees, rivers. A connecting motif are paths – which appear in different forms. The photographs were taken in transit, on railroad tracks over several thousand kilometers on trips across India.
For me, paths embody the opportunity to view a landscape with concentration: fixed points in the passing space. The documentary idea, which was still present during conception, dissolves in the process of photographing, editing and transferring into a new context. The Leporello offers a multitude of perspectives: folded up, it is as compact as a book, unfolded with a length of 7m, a predominant object. Through this duality, and the variety of possible combinations, an open narrative is created.” (translated from German by malenki.net)
