Book Launch at the firsterster gallery: an evening with readings, inspiring talks and a pop-up exhibition.
On September 19th, the first gallery in Berlin was filled with literature and photography enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the launch of our latest work , IN LOVE OF – a remarkable edition from Lost & Found . This extraordinary book brings together 21 authors who responded to old photographs with contemporary love letters.
The event was moderated by Miriam Zlobinski, who not only wrote the book's foreword but also led an engaging discussion with the authors. The interviews provided the audience with deeper insights into the origins and inspiration behind the texts.
The launch of IN LOVE OF was undoubtedly an unforgettable experience. The first gallery, with its charming ambiance, provided the perfect backdrop for this special evening, which celebrated the connection between image and text. Guests had the opportunity to meet the creative minds behind this fascinating project in person.
Helena Melikov, the initiator of Lost & Found , opened the evening with an introduction to the project's origins. She emphasized the importance of lost memories and rediscovered stories, which form the heart of this special edition. The book presentation was enriched by the authors' personal insights. Erica Zingher, Lisa Tracy Michalik, Franziska König, Christian Dittloff, and Swan Collective stood before their own photographs and read from their letters.
Overall, the evening was an inspiring encounter between photography and literature that deeply touched those present. The response from the guests was overwhelming, and we are delighted that IN LOVE FROM was received with such enthusiasm. The combination of nostalgic photographs and insightful texts created an atmosphere that will be remembered for a long time.
