ACCIDENTAL IRONIES II: BERLIN TREPTOWER

The Accidental Ironies series looks to trash heaps, gutters, storefronts, signages, and, of course, the royal court of accumulated junk--the fleamarket--for quaint, disturbing, enlightening or poignant situations.

In the spirit of MONGO hunting--the retrieval of discarded objects--Berlin's famous Mauerpark fleamarket yields no exciting l'objets d'arts fotographique (although there is some vintage clothing at a steal). Success was rather to be found at the much less hyped but nothing short of awe-inspiring treasure trove at the indoor Turkish fleamarket on the Kreuzberg edge of Treptower. Again, no scenes have been staged by the photographer. (c) 2007
