Hof -Memories of Berlin George Hashiguchi

*Available only in Europe

A powerful photographic documentary capturing the vanishing memories of Berlin's historic courtyards immediately after the fall of the Wall.
In Hof: Memories of Berlin, acclaimed photographer George Hashiguchi explores the unique inner courtyards (Hōfe) of old apartment complexes in former East Berlin between 1990 and 1993. Having survived the Imperial era, two World Wars, and the GDR regime, these structures stood on the brink of erasure due to rapid post-reunification redevelopment. Through striking monochrome photography, Hashiguchi documents the raw textures of peeling brick walls, quiet spaces, and the lingering traces of ordinary lives. This photobook serves as a poignant visual archive, letting the architecture itself quietly speak of a turbulent history and a shifting era.
