MY LAST DISPALY COPY WITH VISIBLE STORAGE TRACES!
"I was lucky enough to witness the event so early. I realized then: something happens - I have to be there." (© Daniel BISKUP)
Book Review:
"No other event after the war made the Germans so moved and supposedly welded together as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification that took place, even though the 1990 self-dissolution of the GDR and the integration of the 'five new states' were some GDR citizens of the time nostalgic review looks like a big mistake: Back then, the big 'we'-feeling, the desire for freedom (and for Westmark) prevailed unequivocally, on both sides people were embracing each other,' Ossis' were still part of the 'Wessis' without prejudice - and vice versa.
The photographer Daniel BISKUP, who already attracted attention through beautiful and sometimes beautifully nostalgic books such as Private Images, St. Petersburg or Lourdes, has captured the turning point in his pictures. The title of his volume and the black and white of part of his pictures sound like a well-aimed counterpoint to the euphoria: 1989/1990.
'Photographic Impressions on the Way to German Unity' is what Biskup calls his band in the subtitle. There you can see euphoric women in the cabbage cheer as on a rock concert, childlike joy in the money exchange, slaughtered plastic and Elaste cars and people who drive with their Trabbi in the 'wonderland' of the used car trade.
But the book is much more. For none other than the 'Chancellor of Unity' Helmut Kohl has written the accompanying text, which clearly shows the reader the time forgotten by many, even on a lyrical level.
On 144 pages and in about 130 illustrations Daniel BISKUP shows how we became what we are - and what we lost on the way there. As a contemporary historical document as well as a wonderful photo book, the world and everyday history skilfully juxtaposed." (© Stefan Kellerer)
About the photographer, Daniel BISKUP (* 1962 in Bonn):
Daniel BISKUP is THE photographer of unity and has captured the earth shattering moments of the fall of the Berlin Wall in his photographs. (...) His photographs capture world events in a unique way. Attracted by the atmosphere of the approaching unit, the then 26-year-old traveled to Berlin and documented a significant section of contemporary history.
The SPIEGEL called him 'The Eye of the Revolution': He was there when the Berlin Wall fell on the night of 9 November 1989 and also when the Stasi headquarters in Erfurt was stormed on 4 December 1989.
