– „Jason Langer (*1967) lived on a kibbutz in Israel from the age of
six to eleven, formative years which have shaped him to this day, so
when he was invited to Berlin in 2008 to photograph the city, he met the
suggestion with trepidation. Associating the German capital with its
20th century atrocities, he saw it as a cold, unfriendly place. Even so
he accepted, and from 2009-2013 he explored the city mostly on foot,
with two film cameras and black and white film. He photographed Berlin
with an eye towards places where Jewish people were deported or killed
but also took it as an opportunity to confront and update his
preconceived notions and find a new narrative of contemporary Germany
and the German people. Photographing the streets, people he met on the
way, and acquaintances who grew to be friends, he tracked traces of the
Holocaust, the Cold War, and imagined the freedom and creative
expression of the roaring ’20s. An individual portrait of Berlin, the
past and the present, captured in stunning black and white photography
140 b/w illustrations An individual portrait in black and white of
Berlin, past and present, by photographer Jason Langer“ (Kerber Verlag).
