Alexander Von Reiswitz: Catching Strangers: The Family Constellation Project

Deriving fictional family narratives from posed groups of strangers, von Reiswitz produces remarkable snapshots that capture the role of coincidence in our lives

Over 15 years, Berlin-based Spanish photographer Alexander von Reiswitz (born 1965) captured randomly selected people as fictional families in staged portraits. Authors then created stories based on the photographs, inventing imaginary familial relationships and destinies for the portrayed individuals.
