Stacked | Malte Brandenburg | Berlin (GER) | By Lee Fleming

We recently came across the portfolio of self-taught photographer Malte Brandenburg who is also co-founder of arts collective Copenhagen Format. Copenhagen-based Brandenburg previously lived in Berlin where he completed 'Stacked', a visual documentation of post-war housing estates in Berlin. Often built in form of tower blocks and in a fairly identical fashion, Brandenburg's Stacked photography series looks closer at these affordable housing structures to find variation of sorts.
