I have been to Copenhagen twice before this trip but its always something else if you explore a city with the perspective of someone who is actually living there. My dear firend Niels moved there after he had lived in berlin for quite a while. He found a small beautiful room in Nørrebro which is the multi-cultural, streetart-clustered, well-designed espresso-bar
Sometimes you need to escape. It does not matter where you live and what you do. One should always take the freedom to take a break and leave his or her daily routine. (I know that this is a very student/freelancing thing to say, but fuck it). Especially if you got a berlin routine or “Alltag” how germans
Today we want to introduce you to the photography of our friend Jan Herdlicka. We met each other at university and one of our first conversations was about his passion for the japanese photographer Daido Moriyama and his uncompromising street-photography. Like him Jan is a sensitive and silent observer in the streets of the loud and busy city.
Berlin winters suck. The cold is freezing the life in the streets. People are gathering in warm coffee-places or drink tea in their cozy kitchens. Nobody wants to stay outside longer than necessary. But some people have to. 10 000 Berliners are homeless. Our friends of Muschi Kreuzberg are part of a campaign to help these people. At ONE
This afternoon I found myself being caught in the well-known to-do-list-trap. Too many things on my mind, fighting for attention, which resulted in me doing nothing at all.

I found these photos while browsing through my archive. I remember that day very clearly. It was back in janurary, it was cold as fuck and i couldnt sleep. So i took my camera and walked to Warschauer Brücke. I listened to jamie and watched the people passing by. It was one of the most beautiful mornings i ever experienced.
We have a special Exhibition advice for you. The students of Kunsthochschule Weißensee are going to show their current work at Freies Museum from 15.04 to 01.05. The exhibit has the promising title “die Stadt der Anderen”. The vernissage is tomorrow and we hope to see you there!
we desperately waited for this: sunshine, people, beats. but the first open-air of the year was more like this: sunshine, 10 000 Facebook invites, HOOLYWOOD, (too many) people, security, ID or go home, broken speakers, beats.somewhere in between we really had fun, but we are skeptical about this facebook-event-rave-shit.
A few weeks ago I waited at the subway-station Jannowitzbrücke for the U8 to take me to Kotti. Preferring the bike, I dont take the subway that often. So it was the first time I recognized that Jannowitzbrücke is being generally renovated, despite the fact that the work started in January 2009! I walked around the station, a nice tune
