Additional information
by Daniel Harders (Photographer)
Masculine bodies that are free of clichés; the search foridentity; and above all the ever-changing faces of Berlin: these are the themes
that animate the work of Daniel Harders. His new photo book offers a
selection of pictures taken at the turn of the new millennium. The
black-and-white photos portray fleeting encounters and new friendships, the
hidden corners and transitory places in the city, and the shy, vulnerable,
beautiful bodies of men who inhabit these places on the lookout for new
perspectives and new partners. "From the heart of Berlin" expresses
the vision of a young artist who strives to show more than just what's on the
surface. The photos chosen for this volume combine a certain melancholy with an
immense lust for life. Here, imperfection is beauty and the imperfect is
desirable. Above all, Daniel Harders proves himself a sensitive
chronicler of Berlin at the beginning of the 2000s. "When I came to
Berlin for the first time in 1998, I immediately fell in love with the
city," explains the artist in a postscript. His pictures are the record of
this love affair.
