To Be Kind is a photographic publication by Till Megerle that explores intimacy, care, and everyday gestures of being with others.

The book brings together quiet, attentive photographs that move between documentary precision and poetic openness. Megerle focuses on situations in which friendship, solidarity, and vulnerability become visible, without dramatizing these moments or fixing them within a clear narrative.

The sequence of images is deliberately open. Individual photographs stand alongside one another without hierarchy, generating meaning through rhythm and juxtaposition rather than through linear storytelling. What emerges is not a closed narrative but a fragile network of moods, glances, and relationships. The title To Be Kind functions less as a moral command than as a subtle question: how can care and attentiveness be represented without simplifying or instrumentalizing them?

Formally, the book is marked by a restrained design that gives space to the images and largely avoids explanatory text. The publication operates as an autonomous space for thought and perception, in which photography does not illustrate an argument but proposes an attitude. To Be Kind is therefore less a document than an invitation—to pay attention to the unspectacular, and to the social dimension embedded in everyday life.
