women tell their stories
a photo and sound project by nurith wagner-strauss
november 13, 2022 – june 18, 2023
what makes a “rich” life? twenty-three women share their life stories. they were born between 1915 and 1935 and were young girls or children during the second world war. they come from diverse social backgrounds—some from urban, others from rural environments. some are still physically and mentally fit, while others are frail or living with dementia. photographer nurith wagner-strauss captures in her large-format portraits what remains visible of a person’s individuality in the final stage of life. she explores where and how the boundaries between reality and imagination, between time, the here and now, and the long past begin to blur.
