Portrait of a City' braids together two projects by artist Dean Sameshima—zu verschenken (2020–ongoing) and Still Life (2022–23)—in a composite book-work which constitutes a poignant meditation on the city of Berlin and its changing cultural landscape. The images in ‘Portrait of a City’ address both public and queer spaces through the lens of the everyday, bridging notions of community, connection, desire and consumption.
