No Fuss No Tears is Christopher Köller's meditation on his early childhood - the first part of an autobiography in images. Begun in 1987, the series of photographs covers his birth in an England torn by World War II, a brief respite in an idyllic Italy and an eighteen-month stay in hospital back in Britain after suffering a serious illness.

By reviewing and adding to his reconstruction of childhood, Köller also reveals the artifice of our personal and historical memory, acknowledging that our memories are “as much imagination and longing as they are actual experience”.
