Berlin Living Rooms is the third and final instalment in a trilogy of works, following in the footsteps of Nabokov’s widely acclaimed publications Paris Living Rooms (2002) and New York Living Rooms (1998).

The project began when the then editor-in-chief of the New Yorker magazine, Tina Brown, commissioned Nabokov to create a series of photographs. In Dominique’s own words, ‘The idea was to photograph writers’ rooms without the writers present. I decided it would be more revealing and, above all, more exciting to feature the living rooms of a varied mix of prominent New Yorkers’.
