In the area of the Ruhrgebiet and in Berlin, Robert Pufleb documented street furnishings in public spaces such as turtles, chewing gum vending machines and similar things, which nowadays have vanished almost completely. Today his typologies of former everyday items represent an unique collection of memories which live on in these photographic documents of common culture.

Since all of the images' pictured items have been demounted and scrapped a long time ago, these unique Digigraphie® prints are the only remains of the actual real items, which again transforms each of the photographic images from the series into an original.
