This work by Hans Martin Sewcz features a unique photomontage comprising test strips from his cibachrome prints. Spanning from 1985-1993, the images depict scenes from both East and West Berlin, as well as locations in Brandenburg, Stuttgart, Strasbourg, Chicago, and Texas. Sewcz regards this montage as a visual diary and biography capturing moments preceding the fall of the Berlin Wall, up to the reunification of Germany, and the subsequent freedom of travel. – Some handling dents, otherwise in very good condition.
