The second exhibtion at Uncommon Place presents three associated photographers that live and work in Berlin. In the photographic work shown in the exhibition they occupy with different sorts of traces – of the past, of cultural imprints, of natural conditions – and create extraordinary statements of our surroundings. The collectionof these unpretentious yet significant documents of urban sceneries are shown in this combination for the first time in Berlin.

Andy Rumball’s work explores the issues and usage of Common Ground in Germany, Poland and the UK. The photographic process includes actually burying the images in common ground. The work hence become a combination of visual content and the content matter itself.

With the eyes of a relative stranger Luke Abiol discovers corners and angles of Berlin which are not necessarily noteworthy to local residents. Yet the more these images characterize the cultural habitat we live in.

Rainer Sioda seeks to discover visual traces of progressing change in the still stucturally weak urban environment in the region of Brandenburg surrounding Berlin. He documented a selection of paintball areas with a focus on the qualities of informally created architecture and its use as functional urban structures.
