A Mountain is Only a Slow Wave
The images in ‘A Mountain is Only a Slow Wave’ live in moments of transformation and transition. For this project, Judith Stenneken returned to the historic Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. The structure itself is a testament to continuous transformation. She had documented the airport’s closure in 2008 and revisited it in 2016+17 after being partially converted into a refugee camp. The color portraits in the book were photographed in collaboration with asylum seekers from Syria and Afghanistan, most of whom lived in the airport during this time.
It is a pensive work of art in which Judith combines the industrial setting of the airport with painterly portraits and images from nature.
Collaborators for the book include Lina Aftfah (poetry), Annaka Harris (essay), and Melanie Teresa Bohrer (design).
