From the exhibition text 2003: "The images shown here were all taken in Berlin. They couldn't have been made, however, without a certain distance in time and location. After having been catapulted back to the eternal construction site Berlin from the apparent protection of a small town in Provence, France, the first image of the series presented here was taken. They are soldiers of the Bundeswehr on the balcony of the Reichstag. An emblematic picture. Something had changed in the city. More and more people in uniform could be seen, more television teams, more sirenes heard. Bonn turned into the "Berlin Republik" and the time of large-scale .. celebrated their new-found existence. The fassades of government buildings seemed higher and more unimprenatable. This atmosphere I tried to translate into photographs."
