EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image, an elderly person stands in front of the Berlin Wall memorial in Bernauer Strasse, their face illuminated by the warm glow of a candle. It is a solemn moment captured after a ceremony marking the 26th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The photograph focuses on the close-up view of this individual's hand as they carefully light the candle. The detailed shot showcases every wrinkle and crease, highlighting the wisdom and experience that comes with age. The serene expression on their unrecognizable face suggests deep contemplation and reverence for this historic site. As raindrops gently fall around them, creating an orange-hued ambiance against nature's backdrop, it adds to the mysterious atmosphere surrounding this poignant scene. The depth of field emphasizes both the silhouette of this figure and their connection to history. This image symbolizes not only remembrance but also resilience. By lighting a single candle amidst multiple others at this memorial, it represents unity and solidarity among people who gather here to celebrate freedom and peace. Hannibal Hanschke's creative use of lighting captures both beauty and fragility in one frame. It serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness, there is always hope flickering like a flame waiting to be ignited once again.
