EDITORS COMMENTS
"Shops & restaurants are closed in East Berlin, Germany 22nd September 1989. While for many, the given reason is illness, this is due to the unsanctioned immigration of large numbers of East Berliners to the west". This poignant photograph captured by Geoff Garrett takes us back to a significant moment in history - a snapshot frozen in time that tells a story of division and longing. The desolate streets of East Berlin on that fateful day in September 1989 reveal an eerie emptiness that belies the bustling life usually found within these walls. The closure of shops and restaurants was not merely due to illness as officially stated, but rather a desperate attempt by authorities to curb the mass exodus taking place at an unprecedented scale. Behind closed doors, families were torn apart, friendships severed, as individuals risked everything for freedom beyond their reach. In this image, we witness more than just empty buildings; we see dreams deferred and hopes unfulfilled. It serves as a stark reminder of the oppressive regime under which these brave souls lived - where basic liberties were denied and aspirations stifled. Geoff Garrett's lens captures not only physical vacancy but also emotional voids left behind by those who sought refuge elsewhere. This photograph stands as a testament to human resilience against all odds - reminding us that even amidst darkness, there remains an unwavering spirit yearning for liberation.
