Metropolis, Berlin

Presentation by Lunik:

" Originally posted on Instagram, the Berlin images of the Metropolis series are collected in a photography book and published by Lunik Berlin Verlag. With a foreword in German, English and French by Marc Barbey (Collection Regard).

Wolff's photographs are not about classic city views. They are about a subjective view of Berlin in the present time. The pictures tell of the inhabitants and their urban environment. Patterns of the city emerge, networks of relationships between people, architecture and (artificial) nature. The multi-leveled layers of the photographs take the viewer emotionally on a journey through the city.

The focus resides in the transformation of the city, provocation and chaos. It is about secrets, as well as visions. We visit train stations and Berlin's bodies of water, graffiti walls and full shopping malls. But we also see the famous (empty) Berlin squares and stand in front of closed doors of techno clubs in the Corona year of 2020.

Berlin, not easy to describe with words, becomes a tense picture story in Metropolis, Berlin. For people interested in photography and Berlin-enthusiasts. For those who live in Berlin, as well as those for whom Berlin is a place of longing. "

The series "Metropolis, Berlin" is on display during the Rencontres d'Arles 2021 photography festival, as part of the Fotohaus 2021 (Arles Associé / Fondation Manuel Rivera-Ortiz). All the pictures were made using a smartphone.
