2006 OCTOBER 4 UNTIL 8	Presentation of the international book fair Frankfurt a. M. Exhibition Center - Hall 3.1 "If the photographer decides to release the shutter, a time that is never to return leaves its fingerprint on the negative." Berlin – “Pictures from two millennia”, no book with ordinary postcard motives! A photographic opus, created by one hand, made with nothing but pure emotion as its mainspring. Major events alternate with rather quiet themes of no lesser meaning, basic philosophical ideas, aesthetic points of view, historical junctions and political facets complement one another in the selection of the pictures. What pulls all of the images together is the serial effect, which is only made possible by the passing of time. The long-term photographic observation is a synthesis of art, documentation, journalism, and moreover pure joy in the work with this exiting medium, should also be seen as a reflection of events of days that can never be repeated. Furthermore, may this work also serve as a reminder for recent world history and inspire a vivid dialogue with the viewer / reader on question of peace and international understanding. Berlin, the former border of the world in the flux of time fixed with the camera, its most symbolic places, so deeply rooted in a global consciousness as a historic focus, recorded in light and shadow, like a visual notation of “The times they are a changing“, a score dictated by contemporary history.
