It all started with Rosalie. The chance encounter during a holiday in 2009 near Cognac in France gave the photographer, Dieter Klein, a new impulse for his work. But Rosalie is no beauty. Rosalie bears clear signs of age. The ravages of time have gnawed at her and for this very reason it was love at first sight for Dieter Klein. Rosalie is not an aging village beauty. Rosalie was built in 1937, made of sheet metal, rusty and an old Citroën truck from the "Rosalie" series. She stands somewhere completely forgotten, is marked by wind and weather and is sleeping beauty surrounded by elder bushes.
