Passage
Ernie Gehr, 2003, US, 16mm, 14'

Composed of two intercutting shots of the S-Bahn elevated train through former East Berlin taken before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Gehr presents a mundane, yet illuminating glimpse of the profound cultural and economic changes in his ancestral homeland as seen through the city’s transformed - and almost unrecognizable - urban architecture.
