- Beautiful linen hardcover postcard collection - Every postcard can be
torn out smoothly, without damaging the other content - Well-known
places one has hardly ever seen unpopulated before: Fehrbelliner Platz,
Kino International, the water circulation tank at the zoo, the Charité
high-rise, the Old Congress Hall or Teufelsberg "Iconographic images
from Berlin are well known and in different tonalities: Sarah Eick now
succeeds in the great feat that still demands admiration even from
Urberliner: innen who have seen a great many photographs of their
hometown: her photos undoubtedly reproduce Berlin motifs, but at the
same time they are works of a great, translocal, abstract-poetic
quality. Peculiarly contextless, almost like UFOs, the familiar
buildings and city views appear. Without any form of historicizing or
nostalgic pathos, Eick gives them great dignity. "Even a snack booth
looks sublime in her work." - Tanja Dückers, writer, publicist and art
historian. Well-known places, whether Fehrbelliner Platz, Kino
International, the water circulation tank at the zoo, the Charité
high-rise, the Old Congress Hall or Teufelsberg, are always unpopulated
in her work. One has hardly ever seen Berlin like this. This bare
representation makes the city appear different. Text in English and
German.
