At some point, he had written notes and names on the back of the portraits to remember who they were. After my grandfathers death, when I was on the way to a mechanic in the former Eastern Block frontier region of southern Bohemia, the out of time country around me made me think about how little I knew about my ancestors. I realized how very alike my grandfather must have felt at the end of his life.""Quando mio nonno è morto di Alzheimer mi ha lasciato la sua BMW e una scatola di vecchie fotografie di famiglia. Ad un certo punto, aveva scritto note e nomi sul retro dei ritratti per ricordare chi fossero. La sua morte mi ha fatto pensare a quanto poco sapessi dei miei antenati. Mi sono reso conto di quanto mio nonno, alla fine della sua vita, avesse probabilmente sentito qualcosa di molto simile».Andreas Frei (b. 1972) is a photographer born and based in Munich, Germany. He mainly works on his own projects and focuses on photobooks. In 2014 he co-founded the artist cooperative "million books". "The borders between photography and art may be more fluent than in any other medium - due to it`s relative newness, historical context, inherent technical aspects and present mass circulation. I think this place is where the medium is defined and the photobook is the perfect vehicle to explore these borders".
