Silent contemporary witnesses can be found again and again in the landscape. There are buildings, paths, trees, objects, bushes and traces to discover. Most of them do not want to be found together. They merge with the landscape in different ways. Some dissolve. However, individual clues can be found while roaming the countryside and collecting. The first suspected connections awaken human curiosity and the search for one’s own origins. After further explorations in the landscape and in the books, the witnesses begin to speak. They are stories of days gone by, forgotten fates. Small and large novellas written by everyday life a short or long time ago. They make us look dreamily into the past or recoil in horror.
