Tristan Rösler : It's Strange

It’s Strange is the story of two ex-lovers reunited on the streets of Hamburg, as told by Tristan Rösler

Watching movies inspired Tristan Rösler to tell a story of his own: a road trip in a vintage car, starring models Luca Aimee and Olivia Leonarda and bringing to mind Hollywood classics like Thelma and Louise. Though it is a photo series, It’s Strange is shot like a movie with cinematic close-ups, tight focuses, dramatic tension, and interesting locations. Rösler comes from Frankfurt and now lives in Hamburg, where he shot this story, around Oberhafen, Eppendorf, Elbe and the Harbour Museum. “We had to find something in this city that is a bit abstract and rough,” he says, “because I like it rough.”

The story, he continues, “deals with two women who already shared a little love story once in the past. After a long time, they meet up again on this road trip to escape from daily life. The connection they have now is kind of strange. No one knows if they are going to fall in love again, if they hate each other, or if they’re just good friends.” How will it all end? Like the best movies, it is up to the audience to fill in the gaps.
