Stadt 2/75 (Berlin)

A large-scale chromogenic print by Frank Thiel captures the stark urban architecture of post-reunification Berlin, presenting the city's monumental structures with a cool, detached precision. The Diasec mounting process lends the image a glossy, hyper-real clarity, enhancing the photograph's crisp geometric lines and muted tonal palette. Thiel's work reflects on Berlin's complex identity, exploring the tension between historical memory and modernist redevelopment through the lens of documentary photography.
