"Tuca Vieira's Tropical Berlin" by Caroline Hirsch

As someone who considers Berlin a spiritual home (my paternal grandparents were married in Berlin's Gedächtniskirche, before it was ruined) and whose mother grew up in South America, I find the Brazilian photographer Tuca Vieira's vision of Berlin quite an alluring cocktail. Vieira, who won the 2010 Premio Porto Seguro, captured these images of old and new Berlin at night during a recent artist's residency, lending a tropical touch to the rigidity and formality of German structures.
