Extreme Europe

Focusing on the cultural and geographical extremes of Europe, this book delves into the urban landscapes shaped by historical and visual narratives in the post-Berlin Wall era. It examines the tension between the overwhelming influence of visual media and the remnants of historical culture, particularly in "breakdown zones" at urban fringes. The exploration includes a journey from Albania to Turkey and along the Mediterranean, while also reflecting on Berlin's evolving fabric and the multicultural dynamics of Paris's outer suburbs.
