Interactions. Berlin, April 2024

I still look across the Spree at the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus with its complex architecture, which I alternately perceive in its individual elements and then again as a whole.
°
Probably, I think, it is more of an architecture that is intended to impress and represent. Appropriate for its location in the government district.
°
How long will and can this architecture last? Or is architecture today no longer designed to last forever but merely temporary?
°
These and similar thoughts go through my head as I also look at the people moving in this scenario:
The older couple who go for a walk and move towards the left edge of the picture, the man who is prominent and in the middle is busy with his cell phone and the sporty jogger who sprints dynamically towards the right edge of the picture.
°
The photo creates these relationships between these people and the architecture that don’t actually exist in reality.
These frozen moments and people unknowingly as part of a composition always fascinate me.
