my heart

Have you ever lost your heart? And if yes, what were the consequences?
Like for her first two works My Enemy and My Monument Bettina Flitner has worked with random passers-by for this last part of her trilogy.†Again, she invited the women†into a room right off the street and offered them props to select from. They could choose wings, wreaths of flowers, roses etc. and could pose on top of a heart made of stone. And again they told their stories. The result was 12 large format, black and white photographs and stories of love and suffering, disappointment and happiness.
