In the winding and graffiti covered streets of Berlin one can become lost and inspired by its rich and volatile history. Overgrown and often abandoned one ruminates on the delicate relationship this city has with its past and imagined future. Fluss Träumerei and Fluss Phantasie are meditations on precisely this complex relationship between one’s own malleable past and wildly imagined future.

Taken in Berlin in the spring of 2011 I found that even in the act of gazing into the river I found infinite possibility in both realms of reverie and fantasy that often become confused much like the distorted reflection of Maybachufer, a street I often walked.
