A short video shot by Iori Yoneda during the From Above exhibition in Dresden, Germany.
From Above was exhibited simultaneously in Dresden and Tokyo. A couple more days to catch to the exhibition before it closes in both cities.
Thank you to everyone in both cities who came to the exhibitions. A big thank you to the Dresden and Tokyo teams who made it possible for the photos to be exhibited. Without their tireless efforts none of this would be possible.

Dresden, February 13th, 1945….Many people passed away in Dresden that night.
I hope we can make this day about remembering the people who died that night and those who survived but lost family. Many had their lives destroyed.
Their bodies were cremated on this ground in the Altmarkt. This is the small rememberance placed on the spot.
I have been fortunate enough to meet many brave and honest people in Dresden the past 8 months. Thank you for welcoming me. I continue to learn.
