The
ICC Berlin is a Gesamtkunstwerk, a giant time capsule that has been
waiting for a new usage concept for almost a decade. Planned in the
1960s and opened in 1979, the exhibition building--designed by Ursulina
incomparable wayfinding system--remains an attentiongrabbing structure.
While the building's brutalist exterior overwhelms the viewer, its
interior conveys an air of calm, offering a view of the suddenly quieted
traffic through its panoramic windows.
This volume of photographs
by Zara Pfeifer is dedicated to documenting the interior of the
building. Taking an unsentimental approach, Pfeifer records the largely
unchanged inner appearance of the building that has been variously
dubbed the Giant of Witzleben, the Battleship Charlottenburg, or the
Hall of Megalomania. Her images develop a sense for the building's
noteworthy elements and capture the liminal condition in which it has
been suspended for years.
Das ICC Berlin ist
ein Gesamtkunstwerk. Eine gigantische Zeitkapsel, die seit fast einem
Jahrzehnt auf ein neues Nutzungskonzept wartet. Geplant in den 1960er
Jahren und 1979 eröffnet, zieht das Messegebäude von Ursulina
Schüler-Witte und Ralf Schüler mit dem unverwechselbaren Leitsystem
Frank Oehrings nach wie vor Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Überwältigt das
brachiale Gebäude durch seine äu ere Gestalt, zeigt es sich im Innern
mit einer ruhigen Ausstrahlung und ermöglicht durch die Panoramafenster
einen Blick nach drau en auf den plötzlich lautlosen Verkehr.
Zara
Pfeifer hat sich mit ihren Fotografien diesem Inneren des Gebäudes
verschrieben. Mit einer unsentimentalen Nüchternheit dokumentiert sie
das weitestgehend originalgetreu erhaltene Innenleben des Koloss von
Witzleben, des Panzerkreuzer Charlottenburg, der Halle Grö enwahn.
Ihre Aufnahmen spüren die bemerkenswerten Details des Gebäudes auf und
halten den Schwebezustand, in dem es sich seit Jahren befindet, fest.
