EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - Potsdamer Platz, a section of the Berlin Wall, on the 20th of November 1961. The image offers a low-angle view, emphasizing the imposing nature of this symbol of separation. In the foreground, we see the remnants of tramlines that once connected both sides of this divided city. These tracks now serve as a stark reminder of the physical and emotional barriers that tore families and communities apart during this tumultuous time. Looking towards the east, our gaze is met with Leipziger Platz on the other side. It's difficult not to ponder what life was like for those living behind these formidable walls - their hopes, dreams, and aspirations seemingly trapped within an oppressive regime. The composition is presented in portrait format, enhancing its verticality and adding to its sense of grandeur. The choice to capture this scene in black and white further emphasizes its historical significance while evoking a timeless quality. This print by FPG from Fine Art Storehouse serves as both a visual testament to human resilience amidst adversity and an invitation for reflection on how far we have come since then. It stands as a poignant reminder that walls may be built physically but can never truly divide us emotionally or spiritually.
