Background information
"Boris BECKER started taking photographs before he studied from 1984-1990 at the academy of fine arts in Düsseldorf in the class of Bernd & Hilla BECHER. This photo volume, 'Berlin 1978-1987', shows the photographers early work, shot on 35mm and medium format, that gained importance through the course of history and changes of our perception.
Content
Boris BECKER photographed in the divided Berlin. In his images we can see the war and the seperation of the city and what it caused in both parts.
'Berlin 1978-1987' is arranged in chapters that form image-groups and also testify of the political sensitivity of the artist: The east- and westsector of the city, the wall and border installations, the desolate diplomatic-district, the subway reduced to empty wooden wagons and deserted stations, and a series of bunkers that will become Boris BECKER's most extensive series later on with over 700 images of World War II bunkers."
