An Ocean of Possibilities
Katharina Fitz
Urban Gardening Patchwork
On the decommissoned Tempelhof Airport in Berlin small collectives are seeking alternatives for the globalized food industry. With their vegetable gardens they reinforce the consciousness of the sources of food and strengthen social and cultural integration. Katharina Fitz recorded their garden plots through the four seasons. Each season produced hundreds of separate photos taken from three metres up, which were assembled into one image. In that way Urban Gardening Patchwork visualizes the power each individual has to break through established structures.
