Mine are walls: they are my inner map. Any wall interests me for its intrinsic quality: be it traces, different materials, lettering, advertising, people's idiosyncrasies, decoration, destruction. I always know where the walls are, or where they stood whenever they have been destroyed or painted over. The early publicity was gigantic in scale and gave color to the streets; the inscriptions made dull facades come alive. The walls in the book are all houses' walls-not enclosing walls, not separating walls, like those of prisons or the Berlin Wall. My interest lies in architecture, environment, painting, graphic design, as well as photography. Memory: I don't remember Berlin from my childhood. I left it at the age of two, during the war, and grew up in the country. But my favorite pastime was drawing "cuts" of houses with the life going on inside exposed. Maybe I did remember. First picture of a wall: 1962. While a student at the Hochschule fur Bildende Künste and painting in Berlin, I was watching a friend in the darkroom, and the growth of a photographic print out of nothing fascinated me so much that I decided then and there to start photography. ?
