Holocaust Museum Houston presents "Berlin: A Jewish Ode to the Metropolis," featuring 27 photographs by artist Jason Langer from his series of the same name.
The project is deeply personal to Langer and the product of a five-year reconciliation of the impressions of the Holocaust that were seeded in the photographer as a 10-year-old living on a kibbutz in Israel. Over the five-year process, Langer was able to undo the fearful impressions about Germany implanted in his mind as a child. He was able to see that Berlin is a city of dichotomies and there are symbols of division and reunification everywhere.
The photographs themselves seem timeless, characteristic for the artist’s work. His photographs are formally composed, rich and moody, favoring darker tones. Langer lends a poetic sensibility to both classic views of Berlin as well as smaller, hidden places which often tell specific, individual stories.
