“Berlins
vergessene
Orte
For my diploma project, completed in 2009, I crafted a photo book that explores the theme of lost places in Berlin, focusing on the inherent morbidity of once beautiful and bustling locations. This collection of imagery not only captures the physical decay but also echoes the rich histories these places hold. Each site was chosen for its unique story, which I meticulously researched and documented. The book features five particularly dilapidated sites, where the walls themselves seem to narrate tales of their past splendors and present desolation. This project serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of human endeavors and the enduring beauty found in decay.
A distinctive feature of the photo book is the incorporation of stereoscopic photos, designed to enhance the viewer’s experience by providing a three-dimensional perspective of each scene. This technique invites the audience to step into the shoes of the explorer, making the experience of these forgotten places more immediate and immersive. To facilitate this, the book is accompanied by 3D glasses, which when worn, transform the flat images into vivid, multi-dimensional scenes. This method not only heightens the visual impact but also deepens the emotional engagement with the historical essence and aesthetic decay of these lost urban landscapes.
