Walk around the Block: Amina

I met Amina at a wedding of common friends around a year ago. We were sitting on the same table and quickly came to speak about photography and social change, two topics we're both passionate about. I visited her exhibition Grown this Way during Vienna Design Week this year where we talked about taking a little walk around her block together.

So we did, just a few days before Amina moved to Turin in Italy. Before that, she lived in Vienna's 5th district for several years, where we went to find some good locations in the late afternoon. Here's the outcome.

Amina is into Yoga and acrobatics. She sometimes just goes for a spontanous handstand.
