Beskrivelse
In the past, most people thought Hannover was boring, except for the Hannoverians themselves, of course, who didn't think much about this city. Hannover had the image of a grey, boring city of civil servants.
It took me 10 years to get used to Hannover. Today I find it more charming than Berlin. Not as big, not as hectic, and nowhere near as crime-ridden.
In many ways, however, Hanover has become more and more like Berlin. It's getting dirtier, it's getting more criminal, and it's getting more expensive. It's polarizing, showing elements of both affluence and Muslim slum. It is slowly coming of age.
One thing it has in common with Berlin is that hardly any people who were born there still live there. When I look around Hannover Herrenhausen, I feel like I am on vacation: I understand almost nothing of what is spoken on the street.
The present volume shows a few impressions of how beautifully colorful Hannover is nevertheless. To achieve a cheerful atmosphere, the pictures shown here were taken as part of the lomographic project of the Gallery for Cultural Communication.
The author does not reject digital photography. He simply ignores it.
All photographs shown here are unpublished.
Thanks to Esther Mitterbauer for pointing out to me from time to time that it can be embarrassing to be seen in public with a gold-colored Lomography Pop 9.
She simply crossed the street when it got too weird with me and pretended we didn't know each other.
