What was once a building of and for the people was closed in the early nineties due to its contamination with asbestos. Despite considerable protest, the structure was later completely demolished. Von Steffelin documents the individual stages of decay of the former center of power—from the bits and pieces of leftover interiors and the skeleton of the building, to the space that remained after its demolition.
The motif of our Collector’s Edition, showing a snack stand on Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse in front of the partially demolished Palast der Republik, was taken in November 2008.
Produktinformation Deutsch
Das ehemalige Repräsentanten- und Volkshaus der DDR wurde Anfang der 1990er-Jahre wegen Asbestbelastung geschlossen und in den Folgejahren trotz großer Proteste komplett abgetragen. Von Steffelin fotografierte die einzelnen Phasen des Verfalls des einstigen Zentrums der Macht: von den Resten der entfernten Inneneinrichtung über den Baukörper im Rohbauzustand bis zur übrig gebliebenen freien Rasenfläche.
Das Motiv unserer Collector’s Edition zeigt einen Imbiss in der Karl-Liebknecht-Straße, den von Steffelin im November 2008 vor dem teilweise schon abgetragenen Palast der Republik aufnahm.
