It is my need to dedicate this project to unforgotten Mr. Leonard Cohen whose songs explained us life and death over so many decades.
And I want to dedicate these project to my father as well; who has shown me the way to photography over the same decades.
Very special thanks to my female model: for her unbelievable performance, her wise conceptual confidence and her endless patience braving a shooting over net seventeen hours.
Very special thanks as well to the whole staff’s cautions and accomplished helping hands, to The Evangelical Church of Heiligenfelde and last but not least to my beloved wife Andrea for her backup and being.

Leonard Cohen
Who By Fire
And who by fire, who by water,
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very slow decay,
And who shall I say is calling?
Who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
Who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
Who in your merry merry month of may,
Who by very slow decay,
And who shall I say is calling?
And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who shall I say is calling?
Who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
And who by avalanche, who by powder,
Who for his greed, who for his hunger,
And who shall I say is calling?
And who by brave assent, who by accident,
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Who by his lady’s command, who by his own hand,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
And who shall I say is calling?
Who in solitude, who in this mirror,
Who by his lady’s command, who by his own hand,
Who in mortal chains, who in power,
And who shall I say is calling?
