„Under the patronage of actresses Iris Berben, Angelika Milster, Sonja Kichberger, Gudrun Landgrebe and Hannelore Hoger or the renowned fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, whose master students designed clothes for the models featuring in shoots, spezial attention was brought to the subject of age – attention which it absolutely merited.
What unbelievable freshness and eroticism these pictures radiate, and to no less a degree the ageing models shown in them! The photographs capture the entire life, the innermost essence and all facets of those portrayed, bringing them into the spotlight. Once the viewer turns away again, they´re guaranteed to go on leading a life of their own.
The moment will have been recorded, yet at the same time appears to start moving again. The photographer manages to encourage old, often frail people, get them to go beyond their borders, to sense the insatiable vitality within them and take on roles they themselves would never even have dreamed of.“
