Description: In der Fremde: Pictures from Home is a haunting, cinematic survey of Berlin as seen through the lens of an eternal outsider. Framed by Alaeff's complex familial background, spanning from Yemen to the former USSR, Poland, Lithuania, Germany, Israel/Palestine, and the United States, the photographs are tinged with a deep sense of longing and touch on themes of migration, belonging, and the universal search for home. Essays by: Yuval Noah Harari, Christian Rattemeyer, Charles Simic, Eva Hoffman, Rory MacLean, Joseph Kertes, and Romeo Alaeff.
