While meandering through Berlin, through everyday life in a city in the process of rediscovering itself, McBride was able to capture the key historical moments – both large and small – of a divided nation. McBride portrays the events and emotions between reconstruction and the student revolt of 1968 unlike anyone else.

His powerful images have long been etched into the collective consciousness. This internationally renowned artist’s work is closely connected to the politics, culture, and art of the post-war period in Germany. Whenever we remember the 1960s, we are thinking, feeling, and seeing through the lens of photographer Will McBride, even if we don’t realise it.
