Bringing the city’s history to life
Internationally renowned photographer Michael Wesely captures time and life in his photographs. In Doubleday, he explores the archaeological dimensions of photography by superimposing his own photographs precisely over historical views of nineteenth and twentieth century buildings in Berlin. This allows him to leap from the past to the present: Nineteenth century flaneurs on Alexanderplatz encounter today’s tourists, ruins become visible beneath the reconstructed copies of the buildings, and a park appears in place of Monbijou Palace.
MICHAEL WESELY (*1963) is a master of long exposure photography. His precise use of this photographic technique has made him world-famous. His works are represented in international exhibitions and collections. He lives and works in Berlin.

Edition Hatje Cantz
Michael Wesely mit/with Herbert Maschke
In a palimpsest-like manner, the motif depicts the scene at the legendary Café Kranzler on Kurfürstendamm — then and now. The photographic print condenses the history of this iconic stretch of street, with its architectural ensemble in the background, into a single image charged with tension.
