"Pariser Platz, Berlin, Deutschland" from the series "Places of Interest". 2020/printed 2022. Fine Art print on Hanemühle paper. 80 x 120 cm. Label with printed title, therein signed and numbered 1/20 by the photographer in ink on the verso.

Rainer Zerback's "Places of Interest" series embraces the reality of popular tourist destinations, turning the flow of visitors into the central focus. Surprisingly, the presence of people in these landscapes enhances their attractiveness. In some respects, they appear more picturesque and engaging than the illusion of pristine, untouched nature and sites. This effect is achieved through harmonious positioning of people in the frame, and in post-processing, digital techniques are employed to organize and intensify the crowds, virtually condensing the reality of these locations. – In near excellent condition with bright colors.
