Palace of Culture May 1 (Ulyanovsk) - 19/08/2018

The exhibition's theme is "Berlin". This city we love and we hate. The city we experience skin-deep. Which is your relation with the city? Which are those places that give you goosebumps? Which corner of the city is only yours?​ 

The photo exhibition "Berlin and I" was also held in Russia in the frame of the Festival "Days of Germany in Ulyanovsk" in collaboration with Ulyanovsk Unesco City of Literature.

​

Living in Berlin was one of the best experiences I had in my life. It forced me to grow abruptly but it helped me to open my mind and gain a lot of confidence in myself. What I enjoyed the most was going to abandoned places. These were MY corners, MY spaces. I portrayed several of them but one of my favourites was "Spreepark", the only constant entertainment park in the GDR. Four of my pictures were exhibited here.
