  • DREAM ON: BERLIN, THE 90S by Boaz Levin

Hundreds of stunning images documenting historic change in a once-divided city

The Ostkreuz agency was founded amid the upheavals that took place in East Berlin in 1990. For Dream On, nine Ostkreuz photographers worked together with curators Annette Hauschild (Ostkreuz) and Boaz Levin (C/O Berlin Foundation) to cast a modern-day eye over their extensive archives. As documentarians operating at the apogee of photojournalism, they tracked the changes that the city underwent. They observed the shifts in society and the challenges facing a city previously divided by a wall as it grew together, capturing all this in powerful, personal images. The essays reflect this on a variety of levels: Janos Frecot's examination of the changes in the urban space; Jens Balzer's description of Berlin's potential as a center of creativity and culture; and Anne Rabe's very personal view, as a young East German writer, of today's Berlin.
Photographers include: Sibylle Bergemann, Annette Hauschild, Harald Hauswald, Ute Mahler, Werner Mahler, Thomas Meyer, Jordis Antonia Schlösser, Anne Schönharting, Maurice Weiss.
