The other side of the wall sent on November 22, 2013 (18:45) by Paogar. 32 comments, 2202 views.

, 1/400 f/10.0, ISO 200, hand held. Berlin, Germany.

Dopo che, il 09/11/1989, il muro di Berlino (Berliner Mauer) fu abbattuto, di quella che fu la "più grande opera architettonica" (una lunghezza di 161 Km. per un'altezza di 3,5 mt.) di Berlino si può trovare ormai poco: tra i muri di sbarramento della DDR sono sorti strade, parchi e nuovi quartieri cittadini. I resti, ancora conservati, dell'impianto di confine della DDR non fanno più paura ma devono rimanere come memoria storica per le generazioni future. La "East Side Gallery" si trova in Muhlenstrasse e, oltre ad essere la parte più lunga che rimane del muro, è la più grande galleria di pittura all'aria aperta del mondo. Sulla parte principale, per un chilometro e trecento metri si susseguono i murales di artisti famosi e sconosciuti che, nel 1990, giunsero a Berlino per realizzarla da ben ventuno Paesi. Alcuni disegni hanno avuto anche notorietà mondiale per la loro bellezza o per il loro significato, come il murales della Trabant bianca (più di ogni altra vettura dell' Est, è stata il simbolo della "spaccatura" in due blocchi, occidentale ed orientale, che ha caratterizzato l'Europa fino al 1989) che "sfonda" il muro o quello nel quale Erich Honecker bacia sulla bocca il segretario del PCUS Leonid Breznev. Nella parte posteriore (quella che dà sul parco e, poi, sul fiume) sono invece i visitatori, giovani e meno giovani, che, con più o meno estro, "decorano" il muro lasciando un "segno" del proprio passaggio. Io ho provato a "raccontare", con il mio modestissimo modo di vedere, quello che succede... "dall'altro lato del muro".

Ciao Paolo!!!

I assume the story is part of the picture. It is a pity I don't understand it. Berliner mauer I understand...
But nice colors in the wall. :-P

Hello Paul
You have laid out a nice summary of the history of this wall symbols of many errors ...
I like shooting diagonally on a section of wall that closes with a curve ... I have a "but" .. The recovery and its curvature, however, leave the impression that the wall delimiting closing and relegated to a corner the small group of people ...
I emphasize that it is my feeling .... Do not hold it against me ...
Hello
Flavio

Hello Jypka,
yes, the story is part of the picture! :-P
If I can find a little time I'll see if I can get an Inglese translation! ;-)
Also this time you were the first to comment on a photo of me: thank you so much for your "presence" and for your very welcome comments! :-P
Greetings, Paul

Hello Flavio,
you are also always present in my shots with your beautiful and very welcome comments! :-P
As for your considerations, not only you do not want (and, in any case, I could never volertene) but I have to tell you that it is the "effect" that I wanted to get ... a bit like if the wall was still "active" and "impassable" ... not to forget! ;-)
Thank you for your interest always show for my photos!
Best wishes and see you soon,
Paul

To photograph is to recognize at the same time and in a fraction of a second fact and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that express and signify that fact. H. Cartier Bresson
Nice shot Doc. Paul, congratulations:-P

Beautiful photo paper, very different from my 1983.Allora the writing on the wall was a heroic undertaking, very risky ....
The colors of the lettering and the kids in the background make it really different, almost a joyful "other side."

Hello Julian,
I've done a beautiful gift by posting your own photos of the wall in 1983, is a fabulous historical document that should serve as a warning for all the generations to come! Those who do not know history are destined to riveverla!
Thank you for visiting, for the comment and for the ... beautiful photo! :-P
Best wishes,
Paul

30 years have passed right by allora.Come time passes!
How sad, severe, without life, my foto.Non a living soul is somewhere between those dark memories of power and suprerbia.
How full of life and hope your .... almost the fence of an elementary school with so many colors thrown them .....

Paul Bravo! Always beautiful and interesting your images. Berlin has always held a great fascination for me since the time of Heroes considered one of the masterpieces of David Bowie collaboration with two real gurus in the history of pop music: Brian Eno (ex-Roxy Music) and Robert Fripp undisputed leader of the legendary group King Crimson I had the pleasure of seeing in the front row at a concert in beautiful Florence. The German city has always had great contradictions as the comparison between the grinding machines in the GDR: the old Trabant cars and West Germany including the Mercedes, at the forefront of industrial technology in the automotive industry. Congratulations again and a greeting from Koda:-P

Hello Koda,
with your beautiful memories of Berlin (the city that has long impressed me as well) I've brought back to my "myths" of music that, unfortunately, unlike you, I never had the pleasure to be able to listen live! :-(
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments and compliments for the very welcome! :-P
Good Sunday and see you soon,
Paul

Hello dear Paul!
I have read carefully and with as much attention as I watched your shot.
Your "story", as you told, I liked it a lot.
I also like Flavio had noticed the "closure" of people relegated to the right in the frame but I opposed to the "freedom" given off by the murals.
Two contrasting perspectives: the imprisonment of being yesterday and freedom (or something like that ....) expressive of today.
Congratulations dear Paul and a salutone!
Michela

Dear Michela,
I answer only now because last night I was playing! :-D
As always, your "reading" is very "plausible" (and beautiful), but in this case, as I've said Flavius, people who have deliberately relegated to the right side, in my imagination, wanted, however, to keep alive the "memory" in the sense that a historic wall, although "gay" and "colored" is always ... a wall! :-P
Thank you so much for passing and for your comments which are now, for me ... indispensable! ;-)
A dear greetings and good start to the week! :-P

Hello Paul,
Own this beautiful picture of Berlin, a city that :-) I particularly like the first time I was there was in 1992 and Potsdamer Platz was a tabula rasa with huge pieces of the Berlin Wall scattered here and there .. and that void well represented what was to be the "climate" until November 89: fconfuso:
the development of the curved wall in your photo I like this because it represents well the role that coercion exercised when the same was "active" and the presence of a group of kids is the right contrast between two very different eras ..
Congratulations and see you soon! :-)
