Photographer Knut Stritzke travelled with his camera across Sri Lanka in 2007 and captured photographs in his own unique style, using ordinary people and nature as his subjects. For Knut Strizke, Sri Lanka was “an incredibly intense experience, a country of friendliness, where I travelled with an open mind, and the truth was captured at the right time and moment on my camera”, as the artist recalled in his address at the exhibition.
The exhibition was organized with the support of the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Berlin, and Ambassador of Sri Lanka for Germany, Sarrath Kongahage, inaugurated the exhibition.
