” The Bridge “
In Berlin-Kreutzberg, the bridge of a cult scene of the film “The Wings of the desire” of Wim Wenders.
” After the Gold Rush “
An angel tires of overseeing human activity and wishes to become human when he falls in love with a mortal. Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin, translated literally as The Heavens Over Berlin) is a 1987 Franco-German romantic fantasy film directed by Wim Wenders. The film ( Les Ailes du Désir in french ) is about invisible, immortal angels who populate Berlin and listen to the thoughts of the human inhabitants and comfort those who are in distress. Even though the city is densely populated, many of the people are isolated and estranged from their loved ones. One of the angels, played by Bruno Ganz, falls in love with a beautiful, lonely trapeze artist. The angel chooses to become human so that he can experience the human sensory pleasures, ranging from enjoying food to touching a loved one, and so that he can experience human love with the trapeze artist. The film is shot in both a rich, sepia-toned black-and-white and color, with the former being used to represent the world as experienced by the angels.

LOU REED “BERLIN”
J’ai laissé cette photo telle qu’elle était, en couleur. C’est une diapositive Kodak Ektachrome. La marque a disparu comme le Berlin de 1984.
Ich ließ dieses Foto als es in der Farbe war. Es ist ein Kodak Ektachrome Dia. Die Marke verschwand, als der Berliner des Jahres 1984.
“The wings of desire”
Clin d’oeil à Wim Wenders de l’architecte américain Franck O Gehry pour le siège de la D.Z Banque à Berlin près de la porte de Brandebourg.
Il ne reste rien ou presque de la vieille Potsdamer Platz. Le capitalisme triomphant d’avant la crise a bâti cette réplique froide et sans âme: Downtown Los Angeles sur les bords du Tiergarten. Un nouveau Berlin ?
Berlin est une ville en perpétuel mouvement. La déesse de la victoire semble s’envoler. A ses pieds, malgré les grilles qui la ceinturent, la vue porte à l’horizon.
