Reissue of the 1996 volume
In 1965 the German photographer Michael Schmidt (1945-2014) began to photograph the streets, the buildings and the inhabitants of West Berlin in a semi-documentary manner. Ein-heit (U-ni-ty), made between 1991 and 1994, is a work on contemporary urban landscapes and portraits of Germany intercut with historical pictures from the National Socialist period, put together by the photographer in response to the fall of the Wall in 1989 and to the reunification of East and West that followed.
