Frank Thiel — Stadt 2/90 (Berlin)
Frank Thiel

Stadt 2/90 (Berlin)

Frank Thiel's *Stadt 2/90 (Berlin)* is a large-scale chromogenic print, face-mounted to Plexiglas and flush-mounted, capturing the stark architectural transformation of Berlin during its post-reunification rebuilding. Thiel's monumental photographic works document the city's rapidly changing urban landscape, presenting construction sites and imposing facades with a cool, detached precision. The face-mounting technique enhances the image's clarity and depth, giving the print a luminous, almost cinematic quality that underscores the tension between history and modernity in the evolving cityscape.
