We’re all getting older – each and every day. It’s a fact that unites us. At the same time, the circumstances in which younger generations are growing up are changing profoundly. We have trouble imagining how our parents lived, what was important to them, and what, for this reason, is still important to them today. The aim of Elke Seeger’s project is to give space to these feelings. For some time now, she has been recording the lives of her parents (born in 1936 and 1941). The photographs she’s made are not simply personal portraits, but works of a wider relevance that portray the beauty of growing old as a calm phase of life marked by gradual change. Viewers are invited to pose fundamental questions concerning what separates us from older people and whether we can at least gain some idea of ​​the knowledge they carry within them.
