Berlin through history

From the 1960s to the 2000s, Carlo Orsi documented the city of Berlin at various key moments in its history. Through images of its historic landmarks—such as the Brandenburg Gate and the Bauhaus Archive building designed by Walter Gropius—as well as more recent monuments like the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe by architect Peter Eisenman, Orsi captured the multifaceted spirit of a city long marked by division. His work bears witness to Berlin’s profound transformations over time, including the momentous fall of the Wall, which he personally witnessed in 1989.
