Berlin is where I was born. It’s also an ou-topos, a no place, existing only in my mind. A place that I have imagined, just as I imagined the part of Germany that was then called the GDR, the German Democratic Republic (Oct. 7 1949 - Oct. 3 1990, and where most of my family had stayed after World War II.

I created these images in Bagnolet, France, in 2015 - 2016.
