EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a significant historical discovery in Berlin, Germany. The image showcases a construction site near Berlins central train station after an alarming find from World War Two. Warning tape is prominently displayed, cautioning passersby about the potentially dangerous situation. The photograph depicts Heidestrasse street, where workers are diligently digging and investigating the ground for any remnants of the past. A lone construction vehicle stands as a testament to their tireless efforts. The scene is enhanced by the presence of real people engaged in this crucial task, donning uniforms and hard hats for protection. The creative use of composition allows us to appreciate both the scale and urgency surrounding this excavation project. A shrub adds a touch of nature amidst the concrete surroundings while also emphasizing how human intervention has disrupted its tranquility. With ample copy space available, viewers are encouraged to reflect on the significance of uncovering history buried beneath their feet. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that even long after conflicts end, they can still leave behind traces that demand attention and care. Axel Schmidt's masterful photography skillfully captures not only an ordinary construction site but also reveals layers of history waiting to be unearthed—a powerful visual representation of Berlin's ongoing journey towards reconciliation with its past.
