About
Michael Schmidt’s photographs have always focused on his hometown of Berlin especially in book format–a fundamental element of his work. One of his most important bodies of work about Berlin, Berlin Nach 1945, has never before been published as a whole. It is particularly significant at this time, given the extreme urban, social, artistic and general developmental changes Berlin has undergone in recent years. This series documents a place which, as recently as 1980, was still very much marred by World War II, and provides an impressive visual record of a city in a state of flux.
