Berlin Living Rooms

Berlin Living Rooms, published by Apartmento, offers an intimate window into the beating heart of Berlin. Photographer Dominique Nabokov has captured the atmosphere of 2010s Berlin and its residents' living rooms with her Polaroid camera exactly as they are, nothing added, nothing changed. Nabokov herself describes her images as interior portraits, and that's precisely what makes them so fascinating, revealing, and honest. Texts by writer Darryl Pinckey and journalist Christoph Amend complete the picture.

The book is part of Dominique Nabokov's trilogy, originally published as photo essays in The New Yorker. Alongside Berlin, the series visits New York and Paris. The book is written in English.

After re-releasing Paris Living Rooms and New York Living Rooms, we’re excited to launch the reprint of our sold-out publication Berlin Living Rooms, by Dominique Nabokov. Over the years we’ve developed a close relationship with Dominique, after featuring a selection of her beautiful interior photos from Paris Living Rooms (2002) and New York Living Rooms (1998) in issue #5 of the magazine. We’ve had the privilege of publishing the third instalment in a project that has evolved for more than 20 years to become a sort of holy trinity of interior photography books. Berlin Living Rooms features original photography by Dominique Nabokov and texts by American novelist Darryl Pinckney and ZEIT magazin editor Christoph Amend.
