There is more to numbers than sums; they can also conceal
histories, too. In this case, world-famous architectural history.
For five years the renowned Neue Nationalgalerie (New National
Gallery), designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was closed to the
public for renovation. Nevertheless, the photographer Michael
Wesely was able to accommodate “four guests” inside the iconic
building: four cameras, each one pointing in a different direction,
were installed on the ceiling. Every day they took between 360 and
730 pictures with an exposure time of 90 seconds each. Edited into
bewitching montages, this fascinating synopsis allows readers to
envision the building’s metamorphosis as it was undergoing
renovations. The long exposure time is an aesthetic coup, for
ephemeral, restless, rapid movements contrast with the still,
timeless quality of the architecture, presenting a sophisticated
interplay of identity and change. This book is published on the
occasion of the re-opening of the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin,
August 2021. It is a slightly altered special edition of the
original numbered edition of April 2021.
