The temptation to assert meaning, rather than to make visible, is ancient. Landscape, memorial, monument, and our memory of what happened to us are constantly in dispute.
I propose, by way of a photographic investigation in Berlin, the following "section":
Street photographs
Museum. Monument. Past.
The history of the city as seen through its collections and memorials, the way they are shown and stored.
Europe.
Using public modernist and post-modernist architecture in Berlin as a stage to produce an image of governance.
