Visions for reconstruction in a divided city
In a long-term project, photo artist Bettina Cohnen photographed the people in the famous residential areas of Berlin's post-war modernism. In eight series of over 80 images, she shows the apartments and residents in all their diversity, complexity and intimacy: a photographic commentary on everyday life in an environment that is the subject of much debate today.

Einblick in die Sonderausstellung "Duett der Moderne"
This is juxtaposed with photographs taken by the Berlin administration between 1947 and 1954, which show the state of the later residential areas in the early 1950s. These had been badly destroyed in the Second World War. The removal of the rubble was accompanied by extensive documentation by the Berlin magistrate, senate and district offices, accompanied by photographers.
