EDITORS COMMENTS
View over the Berlin Wall in 1985 captures the stark reality of a divided city. The illuminated inner German border, known as the Death Strip, stands as a haunting symbol of separation and oppression. In this powerful photograph by Michael Steiner, we witness a guard tower overlooking an uninhabited apartment block in the eastern part of Berlin. The image evokes a sense of timelessness and highlights the contrast between light and darkness. The empty apartment block serves as a poignant reminder of lives disrupted by political turmoil. It is within this desolate landscape that history unfolds. The Berlin Wall, built to divide East and West Germany during the Cold War era, represents more than just physical barriers; it embodies ideological differences and shattered dreams. This photograph captures not only architectural elements but also emotions tied to democracy, freedom, and human rights. Steiner's composition skillfully frames both sides of this divided city - one side filled with modern architecture under democratic government rule while on the other side lies abandonment under communist control. The watchtowers stand tall as silent witnesses to countless stories untold. As we gaze upon this historical landmark frozen in time through Steiner's lens, we are reminded of how far we have come since then. It serves as a testament to resilience and unity that eventually led to reunification.
