Miron Zownir Reihenfolge der Bücher

In his latest work, Miron Zownir captures the urban melancholy and vibrant life of Berlin through a collection of photographs spanning from 1978 to 2016. During this period, Berlin emerged as a haven for nonconformists and artists, embodying a spirit of unrestricted development and transformation. Zownir's earlier images from West Berlin starkly portray the struggles of punks, dropouts, and the marginalized, highlighting the city's dark underbelly. In contrast, his more recent works reflect the exuberance of Berlin's club scene and events like the Love Parade, showcasing a seemingly limitless freedom. Yet, the haunting quality of his black-and-white photography reveals the underlying solitude and fleeting nature of pleasure, hinting at the inevitable "morning after." Despite the changes, Berlin remains a magnet for outsiders and unique personalities, including notable figures like Bruno S. and Molly Luft, who appear in his compelling portraits. Zownir’s work transcends mere documentation; it evokes deep emotion and showcases the passions of individuals in various circumstances. A renowned contemporary photographer since the 1980s, Zownir's images have been exhibited alongside legends like Nan Goldin and Robert Mapplethorpe, solidifying his place in the world of radical photography.

Er hatte vergessen wie mühsam es sein konnte auf jemand zu warten, den man nicht kannte und der wahrscheinlich nie aufkreuzen würde. Seine Hämorrhoiden machten sich wieder bemerkbar und er spürte wie ihm der Schweiß aus den Poren rann und seine Unterwäsche durchnässte. Aber ein Polizeibeamter der sich am Arsch kratzte, weil ihm die Hämorrhoiden juckten und vor dem Countdown nach Hause schlich, weil ihm die Luft ausging, war eine Vorstellung, mit der selbst Berger nicht anfreunden konnte.
