About the artwork
This analogue, photographic image of the Chapel of Reconciliation stands on the former Berlin Wall strip in East Berlin and is to be regarded as a monument and memorial. The photograph was taken with the Nikon FE2 and a T-max100 film and was hand developed in my private darkroom.
The perfectly captured play of light and shadow give the image motif a fascinating effect.
The black and white character gives the photograph a timeless, elegant ambience.
The Chapel of Reconciliation is a church on Bernauer Strasse in Berlin's Mitte district, built in adobe on the foundations of the Church of Reconciliation until the year 2000. It is part of the Berlin Wall Memorial.
The construction of the Berlin Wall also divided the Reconciliation Church. From 1961, the Church of Reconciliation, built in 1894, was no longer accessible to the congregation in the western part of the city because it stood on the "death strip" between the inner and outer walls. In 1985, the GDR government finally ordered the church to be blown up in order to have a clear view of the border strip. After the reunification of Germany, the parish received the property back in 1995 with the condition that it be used for sacred purposes.
