| Summary: | "[This] project doesn't fit into the old definition of documentary photography which was valued most of all for its objectivity. It was motivated by the desire to collect people and places as a forum of ethnography that is made into art by light and form."--Page 3. In this volume of photographs the photographer Christine Fenzl investigates the living conditions of young people in the peripheral areas of Berlin: Hellersdorf, Hohenschönhausen, Lichtenberg, and Marzahn. Although the Berlin Wall once strongly influenced their parents' living environment, the generation born after the collapse can no longer imagine what it was like. In her sensitive pictures Fenzl traces the stories of these youth, their expectations, and their confrontation with Berlin. Fenzl has already examined the subject of youth and their social circumstances in previous series, such as Striking Chance , Streetfootball, for which she photographed children playing soccer in Nairobi, Skopje, London, and the favelas of São Paulo. CHRISTINE FENZL (*1967, Munich) attended the Munich Fotoschule and spent two years living and working in New York City. Her photography has been featured in Der Spiegel, Die Zeit, Stern, The New York Sunday Times, and other publications, and has been exhibited internationally. Fenzl has lived in Berlin since 1992. |
