Berliner Baustellen


Karen Linke

Berlin’s Construction Sites Winter 2004/05 It is a process of constant evolution which reminds us of the endless methamorphosis of the city itself. We are on construction sites not yet in a finality but in a state of feigned chaos, to which the various components organize themselves to constantly form new spaces. I capture those spaces at night under the harsh lighting of the site, trying to underline the fragile balance arising from this transitoriness, their scenic almost tragic qualities and the momentary tension of their compositions. Whenever my camera focuses on the workers, they are in a similar way caught in the limelight, becoming, if only for an instant, actors on the stage and those of my pictures.
