Berlin, die Stadt, die Immer Wird [With English Language Booklet]

Giovanni Chiaramonte

4/5 ( ratings)

To mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, we are bringing out this unusual Berlin book

by Giovanni Chiaramonte, with photographs taken

between 1983 and 2003.

Chiaramonte's Berlin appears to hover just as much

between the past and future as between the West

and the East. Could this be because Chiaramonte

looks at Berlin with the eyes of a Sicilian? At any

rate, his is not the official outlook of the airy fairy

Berlin and tourism industries. An eye sensitive to

the beauty of ruins from Potsdam to Potsdamer Platz,

summer warmth, blue skies and the warm glow of red

brick distinguish Chiaramonte's photographs. And

of course Chiaramonte also reveres the architecture

from Schinkel to Aldo Rossithat very formal severity

that allows the city to spring out of the wastelands,

where the lines of fate in the history of the

city cross.
