Berlin
Berlin reflects the political and cultural transformation of Germany across the twentieth century, serving as both the historic capital of Prussia and later the focal point of Cold War division between East and West. The city’s urban landscape preserves architectural and memorial sites associated with major historical events that shaped modern European political development.
Following the reunification of Germany in 1990, Berlin underwent significant redevelopment as it reestablished its role as the national capital. Government buildings, museums, and public memorials illustrate both the historical complexity and contemporary significance of the city within modern Europe.
Photographing Berlin emphasizes the contrast between historic structures, modern architecture, and sites associated with twentieth-century political change. The images capture the evolving identity of a city shaped by both conflict and renewal.
