Borderlines - 30Th Anniversary of the Fall of The Berlin Wall photographic exhibition
BERLIN 1989 - Emotions, Protests, Fall of the Wall, German Unity: The photographic exhibition BORDERLINES by Enzo Amato at the Goethe-Institut in Sydney brings back those memories of the historic events in Berlin 30 years ago.
Instantly realising the significance of the moment, the Italian-born artist captured atmospheres, faces and situations in a fashion that is as personal as it is professional. Now based in Sydney, Amato has long had a deep-seated interest in history. His studies and early childhood growing up in the ancient city of Naples have etched him an appreciation of the omnipresence of the past.
In his photos, he captured not only the fall of the Berlin wall but also the people in the context of their historical, political, cultural and social identity.
The Goethe-Institut presents this exhibition at its own premises in Woollahra, Sydney Australia.
