Salut, Mr. Bruno Taut presents 40 photographs of housing estates in Berlin and Magdeburg, built according to designs by the German architect and urban planner Bruno Taut. Taut’s vision combined the social-reformist and design ideals of the Garden City movement with the economic efficiency of large-scale, row-based housing developments.

Tamami Iinuma’s photographs, taken between 2010 and 2014, depict Taut’s designs as inextricably linked to their surroundings. Shadows of trees fall across walls, while patterns, colors, and textures interact with one another and with the objects nearby.

Following her move to Berlin in 2008, Iinuma began visiting these buildings—located on the city’s outskirts—and photographing them over an extended period. This process evoked memories from her childhood, when she would collect postage stamps from various locations during long train journeys on summer holidays. Through this work, she began to consider the potential of photography as a means of capturing the historical narratives embedded in architecture.
