THE berlin wall | ONE SHOT AT A TIME.

So nice to meet you @ the Photography Portfolio Project of Ritz Mollema, an Urban Photographer from the Netherlands, who lived in Berlin from 1991 – 2016.

Concrete Formations, Berlin, Germany.

On 13 August 2011, the 50th anniversary of the building of the Berlin Wall, Ritz Mollema and his comrades set out to take thousands of snapshots in Berlin on that day, at certain historic and other, less historic, contemporary sites on both sides of the former divide.
