In
Find a Fallen Star, Regine Petersen uses the stories of meteorite falls as a departure point; a rock crashing through the roof of an Alabama home in the 1950's and hitting a woman, a group of children
recovering a meteorite in their village in post-war Germany, and
a more recent event in India involving two Rajasthani nomads. Petersen visited these places, spoke to eyewitnesses and expanded her photographic observations with found documents and interviews. Just as meteorites could be considered time capsules, each chapter encapsulates a specific place in time, questioning the notions of memory and history as well as the relationship between the ordinary and the sublime.
