EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the eerie beauty of empty tracks belonging to the renowned German railway, Deutsche Bahn, just outside Frankfurt's bustling main railway station. Taken on October 7,2014, this image tells a story of disruption and unrest as German travelers faced yet another setback due to a nine-hour nationwide strike called by the train drivers union GDL. The composition of this photograph is striking; it showcases the vastness and openness of the urban landscape surrounding the railway station. The absence of people adds an element of solitude and contemplation while emphasizing the magnitude of this industrial giant at rest. The darkness envelops everything except for a single source of light that illuminates these silent tracks with an almost ethereal glow. The depth created by multiple layers draws our attention towards the horizon line where red accents punctuate an otherwise monochromatic scene. These tracks symbolize both connection and separation, serving as conduits for movement but also representing barriers when they remain unused. Kai Pfaffenbach's creative use of lighting highlights not only the physicality but also evokes emotions associated with emptiness and anticipation. This photograph invites viewers to reflect on how even in stillness, there is always potential for action and change within our environment
