Reviews

“Beautifully written and intelligently photographed, The Mobile Ruin poses timely questions, tracing a North American obsession with the symbolism of the fall of Berlin Wall, the current trend to solidify and securitize borders around the world, and the paradoxical fetishism of freedom embodied in the wall’s relics.” - Lee Rodney, University of Windsor “The Mobile Ruin transforms documentary into discovery. Part field guide, part elegy, part provocation, this book is a sharp, beautifully argued meditation on memory in motion. Fitzpatrick and Ingelevics show us that the Berlin Wall never stopped falling.” - Justin Jampol, Wende Museum
