"Times New Roman", serif;"><i><b>Berlin </b></i>
(Kerber Verlag) is a five-year photographic project on the city
of Berlin from the eyes of a Jewish photographer who grew up in
Israel and who was deeply affected by his yearly visits to the
kibbut’s Holocaust memorial every Yom Hashoah.<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium;
font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:
"Times New Roman", serif;"> The images, shot on
black-and-white film, constitute a walk through the city, with
an eye towards places where Jews hid or were deported during the
Second World War. <br>

font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family:

made images of some of the darkest </span><span
style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span

well as brightest </span>places in the city. The images are a
moody mixture of the tragic, joyous, and erotic. <br>

<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Langer
is a confident photographer whose epic images recall the spirit
of modernist auteurs like Brassai, Steichen, Kertesz, and
Renger-Patzsch. 'Berlin' is his most personal book in that it
traces the artist's Jewish roots, his time on an Israeli
kibbutz, and what it means for a contemporary American
photographer to walk the streets where some of the greatest
horrors of the 20th c. were planned and executed. Langer's
collection of muscular images of architecture and alleyways
where the ghosts of history can be felt are punctuated by
moments of quiet sensuality.</span></i><span style="font-family:
