Traces of a Genocide
The memory of the traumatic period of the Khmer Rouge tyranny between April 17, 1975 and January 6th, 1979, persists: The pain of mass murder, torture, cruelty and inhuman acts, starvation. The pain of being separated and losing parents, children, spouses, relatives and friends. Today the Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide in Phnom Penh, as well as the memorial at the "Killing Fields" document the terror. Elli Lumina shares her impressions with you in her work "Traces of a genocide“.
The little school
The "Scuolina di Yeka Forest“ in one of the poorest areas of Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, gives children food, instruction and dignity. Elli Lumina spent one day in this kindergarden.
Viva Cuba!
Cuba is a beautiful country and people are extraordinary. Elli Lumina had the chance visit the island in 2010 and listen to dozens of its inhabitants about their views of the country and the politics, their hopes and fears for the future. What deeply impressed her are the values of people, value we have lost decades ago, like honesty, modesty, reliability, hospitality and joy - sharing their own happiness with you. Her pictures want to show a world that will fade slowly with the end of the embargo.
About Elli Lumina
Elli Lumina is an italo-german photographer dedicated to Human Rights all over the world. She enjoys to portrait people and she loves the challenges of streetphotography. Most of her pictures are in black and white. She started in the late 1980ies with her own lab to print black and white pictures and switched to digital photography mid of the 1990ies. Currently she is using a Canon 6D and the first generation of the Leica M Monochrom. Recently she bought an old Leica M2 and currently Elli has fun in re-discovering analog black and white photography, slower and more authentic than modern digital photography.
