Between the years, a time of transition and change, lies the period known as "Zwischen den Jahren." It serves as a metaphor for the journey from childhood to adulthood, as well as the suspended time or paralysis that existed before the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertain future that lay ahead. Within the pages of this book, a captivating blend of observed and staged moments, as well as recreated memories, come to life. The young individuals portrayed in the photographs are often bathed in the light of a phone or laptop, captured in intimate settings such as kitchens, bedrooms, urban streets, and even amidst COVID-compliant nature. Family groups are depicted, often gathered around dining room tables, reflecting the silence and shared tension that exist between generations. As the book progresses, a sense of isolation intensifies, even among those in groups, as they appear lost in contemplation.

In contrast to the prevailing isolation, there is a singular crowd scene that stands out as incongruous and jarring. It serves as a stark reminder of the disconnect that had become the norm during this period of change.

"Zwischen den Jahren" invites us to explore the complexities of transition, the tension between generations, and the impact of societal changes on individual lives. Through its visual narrative and thoughtful exploration, the book offers a poignant reflection on the human experience during a time of unprecedented uncertainty.
