Walking the Berlin Wall
The former course of the Berlin Wall (Berliner Mauer), which split West and East Berlin from 1961 to 1989, in the citys Zimmerstrasse. Its total length was 96 miles, of which 27 miles ran roughly north-south, cleaving the city in two, while another 69 miles isolated the enclave of West Berlin from the surrounding East German (DDR) state. Although about 5000 people managed to escape over it during the time it stood, at least 136 also died while trying to cross it. Taken in Berlin, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical significance of the Berlin Wall, a symbol of division and oppression. The former course of this infamous wall is depicted in Zimmerstrasse, Berlin, where it once split West and East Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Stretching an astonishing 96 miles in total length, with 27 miles cutting through the heart of the city, this concrete barrier cleaved families and communities apart. The image portrays a lone figure walking along the remnants of this international landmark. With blurred motion suggesting movement and urgency, it evokes a sense of determination amidst adversity. The low section perspective emphasizes their human limb stepping on cobblestone streets that witnessed both triumphs and tragedies during those tumultuous years. While around 5,000 individuals successfully escaped over the wall's formidable barriers during its existence, tragically at least 136 lives were lost in desperate attempts to cross into freedom. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of these sacrifices made by countless souls yearning for liberty. Richard Gunn's masterful composition not only documents an important part of German culture but also immortalizes an iconic chapter in world history. It invites viewers to reflect upon the resilience of humanity while contemplating themes such as separation, unity, hope, and perseverance against all odds.
