In the late 1980s, Lena Szankay abandoned her literature studies and moved from Buenos Aires to West Berlin to study photography. Little did she know that months later she would witness one of the key events of the 20th century: the fall of the Wall and the dissolution of the GDR (German Democratic Republic). The photographs in this exhibition construct a visual narrative that sensitively interweaves the personal and the historical, a diary of the urban and political transformations of that city and the life story of a young artist in the making. The title alludes to a distant world, outside a system of decoding, a metaphor for mysterious territories with their own codes.
