Berlin: The Freedom beyond the Wall (9788863020298): Giovanna Naldi, F. De Palma

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

For forty years photography in Berlin was held hostage, like the city, in a heart-rending ideological struggle, a new war of representation, played out in large part via the image, still and in motion. Protagonist of the great season of photographic reportage in the democracies of the latter half of the twentieth century and instrument of propaganda in the totalitarian regimes of the East, photography narrated and incarnated the division of the two blocs. It focused on that wall built by Soviet power, the materialization of the Iron Curtain that cut through Europe, separating East from West, socialism from consumer capitalism.

Amongst other things, this book presents the historical development of Berlin?s sights depicted in the Baedeker guidebook from 1895 to the present day. In the second, more theory-based part of the book, various articles provide an insight into the current global development, using examples such as the ?Metropol Parasol? in Sevilla. The final chapter of The Tourist City Berlin focuses on specific topics such as the construction of a new city center by the art scene.
