Berlin Backyards

Accompanying the special exhibition ‘Berlin Backyards’ on the 3rd floor of the Ephraim-Palais, we once again invited the public to take part in our participatory project “Berlin jetzt!”. More than 1.700 photos of Berlin’s courtyards were submitted – take a look!

Thank you!

Thank you for your pictures of Berlin’s backyards! We are thrilled with the numerous submissions to our photo call Berlin jetzt! that we have received since May. Your perspectives on Berlin’s backyards are as diverse, lively and surprising as the city itself.

Submitted photos are published here. Selected submissions werel also shown in the special exhibition Berlin Backyards at the Ephraim-Palais.
