About the book:
Barbara Wolff’s series “Metropolis, Berlin” is a collection of photographs originally posted on Instagram. They are not about classic city views, but are instead a subjective view of Berlin in the present time. The pictures tell of the inhabitants and their urban environment. Patterns of the city emerge, networks of relationships between people, architecture and (artificial) nature. The multileveled layers of the photographs take the viewer emotionally on a journey through the city. We visit train stations and bodies of water, graffiti walls and full shopping malls. But we also see empty squares and stand in front of closed doors of techno clubs in the Covid-19 period of 2020. Berlin, not easy to describe with words, becomes a tense picture story in “Metropolis, Berlin”.
