Berlin’s Hamburger Bhf: no trains, only transition

Above: Appearing in Raleway font is my added line: This is not a train station.”

There is no meat or bread here.

There are also no trains here. No longer.

There is only art, and in this instance, there is a contemporary art piece that’s a historical nod.

The artwork “Transition” (2009–present) by Polish artist Robert Kuśmirowski is housed in the Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, a museum of late-20th and 21st-century art in the German capital city of Berlin. Kuśmirowski’s piece refers to the building’s past and its present. “Transition” is a part of the ensemble “Unendliche Ausstellung” (Eternal Exhibition”) on permanent display throughout the Hamburger Bahnhof gallery-museum.
