This catalogue was published in 2014 for the exhibition of Brazilian photographer Lucia Adverse (born 1967) at the Museu Inimá de Paula (MIP) in Belo Horizonte. Curated and staged by Ricardo Fernandes, with a critical text by Pascale Lismonde, the exhibition presented the series Der Sturm, a key chapter within the artist’s broader Noir Project. This long‑term photographic exploration includes images from New York, Paris, Berlin and São Paulo, each city approached through a distinctive atmospheric and architectural lens.

In Der Sturm, Adverse turns her attention to Berlin, capturing fragments of the city’s architectural history through a refined monochromatic aesthetic. Her photographs reveal a landscape shaped by multiple eras: modest dwellings, ivy‑covered houses, post‑baroque façades, Bauhaus‑influenced structures, modernist concrete buildings and monumental constructions from the late twentieth century. Rather than focusing on iconic landmarks, she isolates everyday architecture, presenting each structure as an individual portrait of the city’s evolving identity.

The catalogue situates this series within a broader cultural and cinematic dialogue, highlighting how Adverse’s images evoke the visionary atmosphere of early science‑fiction urbanism while remaining firmly rooted in real architectural observation. The result is a nuanced visual narrative that reflects Berlin’s layered history and the emotional resonance of its built environment.

Printed in a limited edition of 300 copies, this catalogue has become a collectible item. It includes all photographs from the exhibition, accompanied by texts in English and Portuguese. With its thoughtful design and critical depth, the publication stands as an essential document of Lucia Adverse’s exploration of architecture, memory and the poetic potential of the urban landscape.
