Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf (1959).

Erwin Olaf was inspired by several things for this series, by the city Berlin, but also by this changing relationship between child and adult. Erwin Olaf is one of Holland’s most acclaimed contemporary photographers. Famous for his mis-en-scène and highly theatrical compositions, Olaf weaves complex and dramatic narratives into his still photographs. His work is frequently exhibited and included in numerous contemporary art and photography museums internationally.

The ‘Berlin’ series is a significant departure from Olaf’s previous projects as it is one of his first to be shot outside the studio in six different historical locations throughout the city.

The picture’s narratives are ever-shifting and filled with tension as the viewer is confronted with a powerful range of imagery which reminisces of the city’s past.
