100 SURREAL STREET PHOTOGRAPHS - B&W

MANOLIS NEGRIS (GR)
Cannot take out of my mind the uneasiness that many
friends of mine live at this very moment.
That is why I can use any amount of hope this world can spare.
But how a dividing wall (any wall) and some steel bars (a pure
Orwellian scene) can be a source of hope?
I can suppose that the location is at the remains of the Berlin
wall, but I do not really need to know, because the contextual
information does not diminish the strength of the multiple and
punchy messages this frame irradiates.
The probably highly touristic venue, through the authors
vision, acquires a historical, moral and existential hypostasis.
I can see in this picture the people having lived behind the
wall, the ones having tried to break through, the ones who
hammered it down, I can feel the lost and new hopes, the lost
and new lives.
The details are, a hole in the wall, a man walking by, sober
buildings, a cracked texture on the wall's surface.
