On Potsdamer Platz, the traces of history carry into the present day. At the beginning of the 20th century it became a symbol for big-city life and a meeting place for all nationalities; following World War II it acted as a stage for German and European world politics. Today, the plaza is once again a traffic intersection in the city centre, with streets radiating out in all directions.
The exhibition concept references the square as a metaphor for the ongoing processes of social development and the various perspectives the participating photographers assume with their visual worlds. The show presents a wide array of interior and exterior views of a Europe that can be seen both as a geographical continent and a political and economic commonwealth of states upon which desires and visions, meaning and identity are projected.
In Road to Europe, the historic showcases in the pillars of the Potsdamer Platz S-Bahn station are being put back to use again for the first time during the 6th European Month of Photography Berlin.
