Fragments
from
Asia

Japan and Singapore. Two places that, while not geographically connected, are united by their diversity. Here, centuries-old traditions meet futuristic architecture, quiet gardens encounter bustling streets, and intimacy contrasts with anonymity. Both stand as exemplars of life and culture in Asia, shaped by these very opposites.

With “Fragments from Asia” the brothers Felix and Florian Thiel capture these contrasts through photography, focusing on details often overlooked in everyday life. Architecture, nature, and daily scenes merge into a narrative that reveals beauty, meaning, and emotion within the seemingly ordinary.

The photographs serve as symbolic fragments — snapshots of the countless stories written each day in metropolises such as Tokyo and Singapore. The result is a collection that does not aim to show the whole but rather to preserve the fleeting, offering a new perspective on the aesthetics of the everyday and the unnoticed.
