Taking the position of a detective, she investigates the traces of a grandfather she never met, the German play and film scriptwriter Harald Bratt. Combining her own photographic images with archival material from the World War Two context - particularly Bratt's diaries - Riekel's work focuses on hidden, untold meanings in family histories.1riekelphoto@gmail.com1http://www.chantalriekel.com1+44/7944659624112riecha1.jpgriecha1.xml#pagedown500342
