Hiddensee

A book for lovers of the island of Hiddensee, photography, and individuality. The main character is Ilse Ebel, the master photographer of Hiddensee, who shares an almost unfathomable secret with the island. She lived and worked on Hiddensee since 1938, an island she fell deeply in love with and remained loyal to. The author has explored the life, work, and world of Ilse Ebel. She sensitively reveals the facets of a woman who experienced nearly a century of life. For over a year, she accompanied the photographer, weaving these moments together with the memories of a woman who has always been unconventional, both then and now.
