Meet the Local: Maren Winkler, Photographer
Slow Travel Berlin, 2011
Maren Winkler is an amateur photographer who moved to Berlin in 2000. Escaping from small town life in Western Germany, she “wanted to live in a place which I wouldn’t ever know by heart – no matter how long I lived in it.” Working as a medical doctor at Charité Berlin’s Centre for Stroke Research, Winkler spends her free time documenting the details of her life on photographic film. Her book A Passion for Plastic explores deserted scenes from her adopted home, recorded using vintage Bakelite cameras. “I am a nerd,” she freely admits, “I do benefit from the fact that nerds are more respected these days, but seriously - I’ve always been one.”
