About the Work:
From 1992 to 2002, Joachim Brohm conducted a decade-long photographic study of urban transformation. Focusing on a single site on the outskirts of a German city, he documented its evolution from a 1950s commercial/industrial district into a post-industrial hub of services and residential life.
Brohm’s meditative approach combines cartographic precision with chronological rigor, capturing buildings, materials, and the layered process of redevelopment. His distinctive visual language—marked by decentralized compositions, spatial layering, and an awareness of the world beyond the frame—blends documentary realism with deconstructive subtlety. These photographs not only depict change but also dissolve the boundaries of perception, giving form to the transient nature of place and meaning.
