Stillleben BRD (2015)

In his work, Berlin photographer Christian Werner has engaged repeatedly with the aesthetic of West Germany before reunification. In 2014, a friend asked him to photograph the home of his grandfather, who had just died recently. The photographs taken over the course of just one day are very personal shots that reveal a great deal about the residents of this home and their typically West German lifestyle. In the poetic images, nothing has been arranged, and yet they show the photographer’s very unique take on a world that has virtually disappeared.
