"Berlin
is damned forever to become and never to be" writes art critic
Karl Scheffler at the end of his classic 1910 portrait of the city
"Berlin. Ein Stadtschicksal". "Berlin is soon to be
finished!" this series bluntly yet with a wink retorts.
By
taking the example of Berlin construction sites from the 2010s and
early 2020s the series questions how and why we create our cities the
way we do. It draws attention to buildings in the making, not without
disregarding their urban context. Yet, sometimes the captured scenes
even appear to be detached from their surroundings, as if they were
optical illusions, and intentionally leave the viewer uncertain about
which state they were in at the moment of the shot.
