Bilder Von Der Strabe, die cut cover made from colorful hand made paper.
This is a book of discarded photos that have been scuffed, torn, rained on, and generally abused.
Literally these are Pictures from the Street.
For almost twenty years, Joachim Schmid (Germany, born 1955) has collected photographs found on the street. Nearly all of these discarded or lost images depict people in family snapshots that were never intended for public display. Schmids sequencing of the pictures, combined with the weathered and damaged appearance of the photographs themselves, creates a fascinating visual archive that suggests particular stories that cannot be read with any certainty.
