Frank Thiel

Stadt 2/55 (Berlin)

Frank Thiel's *Stadt 2/55 (Berlin)* is a large-scale chromogenic print face-mounted to Plexiglas, capturing the stark architectural transformation of Berlin's urban landscape with clinical precision. Thiel's lens documents the city's rapidly changing built environment, emphasizing the tension between historical memory and modern reconstruction. The face-mounting to Plexiglas enhances the image's depth and luminosity, giving the photograph a sleek, immersive quality that reinforces the cold, monumental nature of its subject.
