"The internationally renowned photographer Michael WESELY captures time and life in his photographs. In the photo volume 'Doubleday. Berlin 1860 to today', he explores the archaeological dimensions of photography by superimposing his own photographs precisely over historical views of Berlin architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries. This allows him to leap from the past to the present: 19th-century strollers on Alexanderplatz encounter today's tourists, ruins become visible among the reconstructed copies of the buildings and a park has taken the place of Monbijou Palace."
