Where is your place in this structure? How do you relate? What do you contribute? How do we create together? The city is a shared experience, permanently moving like a dance. A dance that is sometimes harmonious and sometimes involves a painful kick to the foot.

In an era when it seems increasingly difficult for humans to coexist in this world without conflict, Berlinage #3 is about celebrating the collage community. It is about coming together and sharing – sharing techniques, working methods, ideas (and of course a drink or two).

The Glasgow Gallery of Photography’s Seascape exhibition is now on display, featuring a work from one of my series.

I was up at six this morning and walked toward the river and to the old bridges and museums, on the way back I paused to lean on the bridge wall and take in the scene. I felt tears in the clear morning air with the bike commuters peddling at a steady pace behind me. What was this feeling, a sense of feeling at home or experiencing what was lost or never came to where I have anchored my life. There is something about this place that is more alive, deep and grounded that pulls at my core. Or is it just a release of so complex I can not fathom it. Perhaps it is all of these things.

Raphael Warshaw’s work is about a photo’s ability to provide physical pointers to personal memories containing what is old, new, and yet to come. He expands on this in the following statement:

For me place is the template that organizes this personal archive and photographs are the external physical pointers to the memories it contains, old, new and yet to come. The camera however sees differently than you and me. The flattening of the image, limited range of intensity and modification of color (still more the translation from color to monochrome) yields an abstraction that we respond to differently than to the scene itself. It’s a single point in both time and scale serving as a placeholder for memory but can alter that memory in ways both simple and profound. It is an entry point, a starting place from which to understand what has happened, is happening, and, perhaps, what will. I want my viewers to think about scale and time from a vantage point of my choosing without being aware of my meddling – if blatant they will see only the s

Kreuzberg was surrounded on three sides by the Berlin Wall. It became an “island” for those evading the West German draft, squatters, and punks. It is a major centre for the LGBTQ community and at one time hosted David Bowie and Iggy Pop at the SO36 club. In the 1960s and 70s it became the home to one of the largest Turkish communities outside of Turkey. Today, the community is in a state of flux as it transitions from a gritty enclave to a highly sought-after residential area.

Berlin’s community walls reveal a living gallery—raw, uncurated, and constantly changing—where anyone can contribute, challenge, or reinterpret the city’s voice. The walls function less as boundaries and more as open-air canvases.
