Depardon: Berlin 

November 14, 2014 
by Raymond Depardon 
Between 1961 and 2013, Raymond Depardon frequently photographed the constantly changing rhythm of Berlin which is the focus of this exhibition. Here Depardon is witness to the construction of the Berlin Wall, the arrival of famous visitors like Robert Kennedy and Queen Elisabeth, the Tunix congress, the fall of the Wall and the reconstruction of two sides of an abandoned frontier which never really disappeared. Finally Depardon depicts contemporary Berlin, a fractured and fascinating city of memorials, eclecticism and self-realization.
Exhibition on the occasion of the publication of the book “Berlin: Fragments d’une histoire allemande” (Seuil) and “Raymond Depardon: Berlin” (Steidl) and as part of the anniversary of the fall the Berlin Wall.
