The List/Die Liste/La liste/الليستة

I left Paris in Sept 2010 & moved to Munich. After 5 years there, I moved to beautiful Hamburg. The german language is often perceived by many people as harsh, violent. But I fell in love with it, you can play with words the way you want. So I started a list of german words still new to me, some specific to Hamburg… Then I decided to photograph each word and translate it. Voilà:
