This article draws on Warburg's Zwischenraum to explore the archiving practices of young expats living in short-term accommodations in Berlin. The image of the Zwischenraum is employed as a visual tool to juxtapose the gaps created by Berlin's characteristic missing houses with the blank spaces between pictures within photographic albums. Furthermore, the Zwischenraum is used as theoretical instrument to illustrate the importance of empty spaces within urban development and archiving practices. In this article, the relationship between homes and archives is considered through the non-traditional and precarious living conditions caused by Berlin's rapid gentrification. This study inquires whether living in temporary accommodations affects the management of personal photographs and, vice versa, to which extent archiving practices have impact on the perception of precarious environments. This research employed visual ethnography to examine the practices of eight young adults living in Berlin in the spring of 2019. The results gained from photo-elicitation and semi-structured interviews displayed a mutual yet not dramatic influence between the living conditions and the way personal photographs are managed. This research contributes to studies on domestic photography and uncovers some of the effects of gentrification. Ultimately, it presents the Zwischenraum as a valuable conceptual framework within visual studies.

本文利用瓦尔堡的Zwischenraum来探讨居住在柏林短期住宿的年轻外籍人士的归档实践。Zwischenraum的图像被用作视觉工具，将柏林特色失踪房屋所造成的间隙与相册中图片之间的空白空间并置。此外，Zwischenraum用作理论工具来说明空置空间在城市发展和归档实践中的重要性。在本文中，通过柏林快速中产阶级化造成的非传统和不稳定的生活条件来思考住宅和档案之间的关系。这项研究询问住在临时住所是否会影响个人照片的管理，反之亦然，归档实践在多大程度上影响对不稳定环境的感知。这项研究采用视觉民族志来研究 2019 年春天生活在柏林的八名年轻人的做法。通过照片启发和半结构化访谈获得的结果显示，生活条件和个人照片方式之间存在相互但不显着的影响被管理。这项研究有助于国内摄影的研究，并揭示了中产阶级化的一些影响。最终，它呈现了Zwischenraum作为视觉研究中一个有价值的概念框架。
