Lost and Found – Vergangene Bilder neu erzählt, Ani Menua

With the book „LOST AND FOUND – Vergangene Bilder neu erzählt“ the editors Helena Melikov and Ani Menua build a bridge between the past and the present. The book is a collection of old photographs taken in the last century. With new texts, the images that were thought lost are brought back to life.

Through the texts, the reader is immersed in ordinary everyday life and in the world of the subjects and people appearing in the photos. The book confronts the past with the present. Yesterday becomes now and now becomes yesterday.

Poems alternate with prose pieces, addressing themes such as love, friendship, hope, and uncertainty, not least in relation to the fragile historical context that frames “Lost and Found”
