Marcus Kaiser, Mauerblicke: Wall Views

Marcus Kaiser, Self Published, 2009, 48 pages, hardback, 8-3/4"x11-1/4". Introduction by Knut Ebeling describing this pinhole project. An important book to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down and the collapse of communism. In this beautiful book Marcus Kaiser publishes and revisits his 1989 pinhole photographs documenting the final destruction of the Berlin Wall.

Kaiser used holes in the wall to make pinhole images looking both toward East Berlin and toward West Berlin. To accomplish this, he taped a pinhole onto one side of a broken hole in the Berlin Wall, then taped a film holder to the other side of the hole and made an image. Kaiser then reversed the process to produce a series of metaphoric pinhole images celebrating light finally being able to travel both east and west, no longer blocked by the Berlin Wall. $30
