This semester at school I have been working on a series which I called "Bestandsaufnahme", which means "inventory" in German. My idea with this series is doing sort of an "inventory" of the #Berlin I'm living now and the main motivation was realizing all of the changes which the city has gone through since I arrived here 14 years ago. Since I started photographing and therefore become a better observer, I have become more fascinated by the fugacity of Berlin's cityscape. Even though the style of the photographs I've been taking for this "inventory" consists of wider perspectives (not what you usually see on my instagram feed), this building is an important part of it because I think it's where the thought about doing this started. This is the fake and temporary (in Berlin "temporary" usually takes much much longer than expected) facade of the Berliner Bauakademie (Building Academy), a building designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, edified between 1832 and 1836 and partly destroyed during the bombardments of WWII. The ruins were removed in 1962 by the GDR government in order to make room for the construction of the ministry of foreign affairs. Today, one of the facades is actually built but the rest of the "building" consists of a plastic print, which shows how the building once looked like, for the funding and a huge bureaucracy machinery to decide upon its reconstruction.
