A haunting, cinematic portrait of Berlin as seen by an alienated expat
Eight years after moving to Berlin from his native New York, photographer Romeo Alaeff (born 1970) was still struggling to acclimate to his adopted home. These photographs are tinged with a deep sense of longing and touch on themes of migration and the search for home.

[A]t night, the artist Romeo Alaeff walked the streets of Berlin alone with his camera. He took photos of the skyline, of young people fighting on the train, and empty pools and buildings. He captured this loneliness and transience in [his book which] ...is inspired by that sense of being uprooted, of living somewhere new and trying to orient oneself in a new land.
