EIGER TOP 20 - True Tales Africa by Klaus Mellenthin (Germany)⁠


TRUE TALES Africa is a showcase of Klaus Mellenthin's documentary work across the continent, spanning two decades. It is the photography of a passionate storyteller complemented with thought-provoking essays by renowned writers that capture the heart and soul of Africa.⁠


He observes passersby and tribal leaders and is confronted with suffering and happiness. He loses himself in alleys and back rooms, listens to intimate conversations and whispered prayers.⁠


As a wanderer between worlds, a collector of moments and a driven man, Mellenthin immerses himself, albeit temporarily, into this often misunderstood, diverse and vibrant continent. In the process, he unearths fascinating narratives, a sequence of anecdotes.⁠
