An attempt to track down and photograph all of the 312 people mentioned by name in the 28th February 2007 edition of a small local newspaper in Hamburg, Germany.

The subjects range from politicians involved in power struggles on the front pages, via adverts for local handymen and lawyers to Guenter, 49, looking for a partner in the personal ads. Each person was traced, contacted and asked to take part in the project. The photographs were exhibited anonymously, hung in the order in which they were mentioned in the newspaper.
