Berlin (English, German, French, Hardcover)

Florian Profitlich's photographs of Berlin aren't simply a catalogue of typical landmarks, but personal impressions of cityscapes, places and buildings full of dramatic illuminations and shadows, extraordinary details, and unique views. Profitlich often photographs at night capturing the drama of the city's architecture. He focuses on the historical landmarks that have defined the city through so many changes and in this way balances the current view of Berlin as nothing more than a construction site. Featuring high-quality printing of 100 large-format duotone images, this book presents Berlin on the cusp of a new chapter in both its political and architectural history. Extended commentaries on each of the photographs provide histories of each of the buildings photographed and together offer the reader an informative tour through the city's past. An important book documenting a city in flux.
