这是我拍摄的东德废弃舞厅的照片

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年柏林墙倒塌之前，东德的每个村庄都有自己的舞厅。每到周末，一代又一代的村民就会通过聚会和跳舞来忘记日常生活的艰苦。各村落以各自的财力，在许多装饰上相互竞争，但并不都是平等的。1989年后，慢慢地，无情地，这些房间被遗弃了。在一次去东德的旅行中，我参观了大约30个这样的废弃房间。访问并不总是容易的。大多数情况下是禁止的。当你看到一些楼层和天花板的情况，你很快就会明白为什么。在这里，我向你们展示10个精选的房间。如果你仔细听，你可能会听到晚会正热闹着呢!
