"Lange is one of the few photographers to have dealt with the Wall to
any serious degree – a photo collection well worth seeing." Berliner
Abendblatt "This visual journey through time along the Wall clearly
documents the insanity of it – and the transformation of Berlin
reunited." SPIEGEL online
The Berlin Wall lives on to this day, the gashes cut through the city
and the concrete remains still bearing witness to the schism inflicted
on Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Karl-Ludwig Lange, one of the most
well-known photographers of the present, took photographs of the Wall in
the seventies and at the time of Reunification in 1990 in a poignant
visual record of the wounds that the border fortifications ripped into
the city. Fifteen years after the fall of the Wall, Lange began to
shoot photographs at the same places for comparison, and has
continuously documented the process of change up to the present day. His
images show a revival of life in what used to be no man's land, but
also those deserted corners that time itself seems to have forgotten.
This new revised edition captures new changes from recent years in
images previously unpublished – a unique photographic side-by-side
comparison between the Wall then and now.
