TRUE TALES Africa is a showcase of Klaus Mellenthin's documentary work across the continent, spanning two decades. It is the photography of a passionate storyteller complemented with thought-provoking essays by renowned writers that capture the heart and soul of Africa.
He observes passersby and tribal leaders and is confronted with suffering and happiness. He loses himself in alleys and back rooms, listens to intimate conversations and whispered prayers.
As a wanderer between worlds, a collector of moments and a driven man, Mellenthin immerses himself, albeit temporarily, into this often misunderstood, diverse and vibrant continent. In the process, he unearths fascinating narratives, a sequence of anecdotes.
