Was macht uns aus? Wie nehmen wir uns wahr? Der Fotograf Rob Lewis porträtierte Menschen mit Demenz im Zentrum Schönberg, während sie sich selbst im Spiegel betrachtet haben. Die Bilder sind Zeugen dieses sehr intimen Moments. Was sehen die Porträtierten, wenn sie sich selbst in die Augen schauen? Und was lösen die Bilder in uns aus, wenn wir sie betrachten? «ich bin. bin ich?» ist allen Menschen gewidmet, die direkt oder indirekt von Demenz betroffen sind und immer wieder einen positiven Umgang mit der Krankheit finden.
