This collection is part of an extended study of the city's changing urban landscape a dozen years after the dismantling of the wall. It searches out the less prominent, more idiosyncratic locations that, in my view, are as characteristic of the city as are the grander tourist destinations. If a famous monument makes an appearance, then it does so in an unfamiliar role or an unfamiliar state. Many of the images speak, sometimes obliquely, about history, inertia, and change. They give glimpses into spaces in between one destination and the next.
The work was done during a 16 months stay in 2003 and 2004. I think of it as the central piece of a triptych whose wings are the "Sculpture Berlin" and "Graffiti Berlin" series.
