“Autumn seems to me like a human life that slowly withers and matures for eternity.”

– Aunt Lisa

In 2013, Viktor Hübner’s uncle Franz was diagnosed with a severe form of cancer and given just three months to live. From the moment the diagnosis was received, Franz and his family faced the reality with quiet acceptance — and Hübner was by their side.

Onkel Franz is not only the story of one man’s final season. It is a reflection on love, loss, and the strength of familial bonds in the face of mortality. Through images and shared moments, the work explores what it means for a person — and those who love him — to walk together through darkness, sustained only by hope.
