Art Out: Parallel Worlds at 1014

Photographs by Cid Roberts

Parallel Worlds presents the work of Stefan Roloff, a German- American artist born in West Berlin, and Harf Zimmermann, a German photographer born in Dresden who grew up in East Berlin, together for the first time in the German Consulate General New York and 1014, United States.

The exhibition deals with the fear instilled by the physical presence of the Berlin Wall, as cultivated by the wall-regime (Roloff) and the regime‘s inner pettiness and internalized
fearfulness (Zimmermann). Living on opposite sides of the Berlin Wall, Roloff and Zimmermann spent most of their lives not knowing about each other’s work or existence.
