Publisher's Description
American photographer Fredrik Marsh’s images tell the story of the
great societal upheaval at the end of the twentieth century from an
unusual perspective. The project deals in general with the passing of
time and with change. Marsh came to Dresden for the first time in 2002
and the idea for the Transitions: The Dresden Project, which would not
be finally completed until 2006, came to the photographer in a process
that can only be described as possessing its own momentum. Marsh had
started to focus on German history in a downright unconventional
manner. He developed quite a distinct and unusual interest in the
remnants of recent, specifically East German history as well as in the
changes wrought by the rebuilding and the renewal of Dresden following
the peaceful revolution of 1989. He concentrated on the overlapping of
different historical layers which he discovered in empty factory
buildings, barracks and deserted old historic Dresden residences. He
proceeded like an archaeologist who enters a new territory and secures
evidence of former life without influencing it in any way. With his
pictures, Fredrik Marsh pays reverence to the important, but also
tragic past of this city. Marsh received a John Simon
Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for Transitions: The Dresden Project.
