這是我拍攝的東德廢棄舞廳的照片

Before the fall of the wall in 1989, every village in East Germany had its ballroom. Generations of villagers came to forget every weekend the harshness of everyday life by partying and dancing. The villages rivaled each other with a lot of decoration with their means, which were not all equal. After 1989, slowly, inexorably the rooms were abandoned. During a trip to East Germany, I visited about thirty of these abandoned rooms. Access is not always easy. Forbidden in most cases. When you see the condition of some floors and ceilings you quickly understand why. Here, I present to you a selection of 10 of these rooms. If you listen well you may hear the party in full swing!

在1989年柏林墻倒塌之前，東德的每個(gè)村莊都有自己的舞廳。每到周末，一代又一代的村民就會(huì)通過聚會(huì)和跳舞來忘記日常生活的艱苦。各村落以各自的財(cái)力，在許多裝飾上相互競爭，但并不都是平等的。1989年后，慢慢地，無情地，這些房間被遺棄了。在一次去東德的旅行中，我參觀了大約30個(gè)這樣的廢棄房間。訪問并不總是容易的。大多數(shù)情況下是禁止的。當(dāng)你看到一些樓層和天花板的情況，你很快就會(huì)明白為什么。在這里，我向你們展示10個(gè)精選的房間。如果你仔細(xì)聽，你可能會(huì)聽到晚會(huì)正熱鬧著呢!
