"Brandmauern" is showing analogue images taken with a plate camera of Berlin’s firewalls and named after the streets they were shot in. Interested in their status as non-spaces, Korfmann makes a study of these so-called “Brandmauern” – structures built for the public good, but invisible to most citizens.
