The exhibition "Berliner Kontrastes" in Ephraim-Palais presents city motifs by photographers Frank Silberbach and Nikolas von Safft. The photos show both the beautiful and the less attractive sides of the city. The director of the Stadtmuseum Foundation, Paul Spies, raves about the diversity and the constant change in Berlin. The exhibition shows how the city develops, but still preserves its recognition.

The motifs of the two photographers record the different facets of the city. Frank Silberbach's series “Berlin 140 °” shows lively moments in the city center. The motifs range from beggars and opera visitors under the Linden to playing children and hardworking craftsmen. Silberbach is particularly interested in people, not in well -known personalities.

nikolas from Safft, on the other hand, concentrates in his “tour” series on the city limits of Berlin. Around 2000 photos were taken on his hikes along the border, on which no people can be seen. The recordings show trampled front gardens, graffiti -smeared power boxes and growing undergrowth. The curator Ines Hahn praises the "brittle barren and emphasized soberness" of the pictures.

Despite their differences, both photographers show a summer Berlin that the residents immediately recognized in his details. The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to submit their own city photos that can become part of the museum's exhibition or collection of photography.

Paul Spies, who lives in Berlin himself and is currently restoring his own house in Mühlenbeck, the city appreciates because of its ability to donate consolation. He describes Berlin as "beautiful in her ugliness".

The exhibition "Berlin contrasts" can be visited in the Ephraim Palais until September 10th. Entry costs 7 euros for adults and 4 euros for reduced cards. Further information on the exhibition and participation can be found on the website of the city museum.
