Beschreibung:
Stephen Barber lives in Berlin and is the author of more than twenty books, including Abandoned Images: Film and Film's End and, most recently, Hijikata: Revolt of the Body, also published by Solar Books.
Berlin's unique history of conflict, violence, and transformation has created an arena of extraordinary urban surfaces, from which the present-day city and its layered, wounded past are projected simultaneously. In The Walls of Berlin, acclaimed cultural historian Stephen Barberexplores the intimate connections between those surfaces and the works of art and film that have both incised Berlin's urban screens and been inspired by them.
