analogue friday - into Berlin's suburbs

March 25, 2016

With the roll of this film (Kodak Ektar 100, one of my favourites) I take you into the Berlin suburbs, to the end of the underground line U7. It is very contrary to the last posts on my blog here, that rather showed the beauty and strength of nature. I definitely am not a fan of these "concrete parks", these remains of the 60s and 70s, when brutalism architecture was widely considered as a good idea to live in. However, I cannot deny that I'm also fascinated by this plain, faceless mightiness and strange beauty of these buildings.

Have a nice weekend and if you celebrate it: Happy Easter!

  3. There was a quote somewhere which went something like this: Straight lines are an invention of man, nature does not have them. When I looked at these pictures I was reminded of that.

  5. Plattenbau-Ästhetik - ein sehr streitbares Thema :)
    ich kann mir nur sehr schwer vorstellen, wie das Wohnen in so einer Umgebung funktioniert und mag tatsächlich die Nähe zur Natur mehr - aber trotzdem finde ich diese Wohnriesen schön. und Fotomotive oder Perspektivenspielereien sind da sehr gut umzusetzen!
    Interessant, dass der Ektar bei Dir eher kühler daher kommt, bei mir ist der immer ganz warm von den Farben her. was ich eigentlich sagen wollte: tolle Fotos! liebe Grüße!

  6. I'm not a fan of this type of architecture either, but you captured it beautifully
