Love letters from the war by Hanno Ketterer

Photobook by Hanno Ketterer, published by Kehrer Verlag, Heidelberg. Based on hundreds of letters written by his grandfather Karl Krug during the Second World War, this photo book tells a timeless love story.
 
This is a story about the choice to see light even when everything is covered by darkness; about the courage to hold on to love, dignity, and inner truth when everything around us falls apart.
 
The book weaves together original letters and photographs with AI-generated imagery, creating cinematic scenes. The result is a visual and emotional journey that merges reality and imagination.
 
Signed copy available.
 
 
 
"Love Letters from the War:
A legacy in a box: Hanno Ketterer has turned the letters that his grandfather wrote from military service to his young wife into a work of art. It is moving, very personal, and an extraordinary historical testimony."
