Daniel Biskup : Budapest –

Preview

Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Germany’s reunification, the Museum The Kennedys based in Berlin, displays the special exhibition « Budapest – Berlin · My path to German Unity » by german photographer Daniel Biskup. The exhibition presents 70 selected, partly unpublished photographs, which are also featured in the accompanying photobook bearing the same title. The images retrace Daniel Biskup’s personal path to the German reunification, by reflecting the emotions that the fall of the Berlin Wall  triggered not only in the 26-year-old photographer, but which keep moving people in Berlin, Germany, and worldwide until this day.

Daniel Biskup was born in 1962 in Bonn where he grew up. At an early age he developed a passion for photography. At the age of 15 he founded a trade union newspaper and began to photograph contemporary events in Bonn. Peace demonstrations and squatted houses were the motifs of his first photographs. Later Biskup moved to Augsburg where he studied history, politics, and ethnology. In 1989, Daniel Biskup experiences his break-through as a photographer. In the summer of 1989, the political situation in Eastern Europe came to a head. On the spur of the moment, he traveled to Budapest and accompanied GDR refugees on their way to the West. The upheaval in the GDR attracted him magically. He felt, these events would go down in history.
