Tales of the Neglected
The sad stories of objects left behind
Tales of the Neglected is a drawing reportage that captures objects left in the street of Berlin and their emotions. Through short fictional stories, the book offers another kind of perspective on the way objects might feel when being abandoned in the street. The project mixes photography and black ink resulting of a style that find itself between a gothic and a street-like aesthetic.
