\nAt first glance, French photographer Ed Broner\u2019s stripped-back reportage paints a picture of Berlin as we know and love it. Through candid black-and-white snapshots, he speaks of the city\u2019s hedonistic parties, lovers’ kisses, graffiti-adorned walls and derelict buildings with a visual language that\u2019s as arresting as it is nostalgic. But beyond the epicurean revelries, Broner\u2019s latest project, “Vagabondage”, is about the bonafide power of photography. <\/span>
\nThey say a picture’s worth a thousand words, but it was some years before Broner came to understand the truth behind the\u00a0clich\u00e9 \u2014 following the tragic death of his best friend in 2010. \u201cWhen I looked at what was left of our 20 year friendship, I had just 10 or 15 pictures of him and of us together,\u201d he laments.\u00a0<\/span>Responding to this lack of documentation, the photographer picked up his camera and began the project that\u00a0would later become “Vagabondage” \u2014 a visual journal of his day-to-day life. \u201cI felt the need to photograph everything I was doing, and all the people I met,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt was the hardest time of my life, but at the same time I was free, and was able to find myself again.\u201d Capturing fragments of his everyday experience, Broner’s photographs find beauty in the mundane. \u201cThe subject of this diary is what I love most,\u201d he explains: \u201crealness, creative people, beauty, love, friendship, art\u2026\u201d The result is a collection of\u00a0 intimate photographs that paint a true portrait of Berlin life.<\/span>
\n\"\"
\n 
\nLike many Berliners, Broner\u2019s relationship with Berlin is love and hate. \u201cI love it for the exciting contemporary art scene, its underground touch and the freedom Paris has lost,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I miss the beauty and warmth of France.\u201d It’s something that comes across in his photographs, which oscillate between jarring and stark scenes of Berlin’s gritty streets and heartfelt portraits of its residents.<\/span>
\nBroner’s “Vagabondage” is the second in a series of visual essays, published by Hatje Cantz, which traverse the city of Berlin through the lenses of some of its most visionary photographers; the first is the product of <\/span>Ama Split and Riky Kiwy\u2019s six week trip on the Ringbahn \u2014 and both are available to buy now<\/a>.<\/span>
