Bärbel Högner, Dierk Jensen
Residents bring life into a house and shape its character. Photographer and social anthropologist Bärbel Högner was well aware of this phenomenon when she moved into the Le Corbusier building in Berlin as “artist-in-residence” in 2007. In 1958, the architect Le Corbusier confronted Berliners in the divided city with his concept of communal living. The aesthetic impact of his Unité d‘habitation, “Typ Berlin” is apparent to this day. Bärbel Högner has captured the co-relation between Le Corbusier’s vanguard architecture and its residents with impressive and surprising images.
