Traces

The neighbour nobody knew

A stranger’s bicycle in the cellar, a faded letterbox – and between them the life of a man who is suddenly gone. Who was he?

The entrance of the apartment building with stairs and a parked bicycle, where Hans was often seen with an Aldi bag – tracing the life of late neighbour Hans in Lüneburg

He isn’t wearing proper trousers, but colourful socks with a comic-strip pattern. His legs are crossed. Beside him stands a white three-legged coffee table with a grey plant pot and a pink mug. He looks intently at the laptop on his lap and wears wireless earbuds.

Two herding dogs stand alert in the long grass of a meadow, while on the right-hand edge of the picture a person’s arm in a weatherproof jacket, holding a wooden staff, is visible. The scene conveys a working atmosphere in the countryside. Black-and-white photograph.
