During the last weeks I spent long nights viewing and ordering my messed up photo archive to pick out proper shots for my new website. In that process I found quite a lot of old and interesting photos I almost forgot about. Like this series about graffiti messages I started to shoot in early 2007. Back then, my attention got from
There is not much to say about the current weather situation. It is both fantastic (wonderful white snow landscapes and comfortable cozy get-togethers indoors are the perfect pre-Christmas warm up) and terrible (it’s cold as a mother out there, traffic is stuck all the time and if you haven’t yet landed butt first on ice then
If you love to ride bike you should definitely know Fahrtwind Berlin. They are an open group of riders and organize great events in and around Berlin. Also have a look on there Facebook Page to get the latest news, fun facts and other stuff all around the bicycle biz. Back in the summer we had
The last two days were all in the name of one very remarkable part of Berlin: the BLOCK in Kreuzberg, comprising of Adalbert-, Oranien– and Skalitzerstraße and the streets within their proximity. The Rock the Block exhibition/kiezfestival was brought to life by Backjumps, a Kreuzberg located urban arts initiative and magazine, in cooperation with the
Teufelsberg has long been a very popular “urban exploration” spot for tourists and wanderers alike. I’ll spare you the elaborate story on the artificial hill with the listening station on top of it by simply pointing you to the relevant Wikipedia article. But there it is now, a former US-listening station, nowadays lying in ruis but remaining
The Shoot Your Life exhibition displays a project we really like to support. In three cities — Paris, Berlin and Istanbul — twenty teenagers were given the chance to learn about analog photography. They then took that knowledge and spent a whole summer putting their life into pictures. Sound familiar? It’s what we do right here (and we still like to
Back in the late 1980, FUZI discoverd Subway Art — one of the very early publications about subway graffiti in New York. Soon he got hooked on graffiti and hip-hop culture and started to paint his name all over his district, the Parisian suburbs. He invented his own style of graffiti painting, he called it the “Ignorant Style”. Switching
Since more than 10 years the Total Sellout provides young Graphic Designers and Artists the possibility to exhibit and sell there works. The idea started 2000 in Dresden, nowadays this temporary platform opens also in other cities like Leipzig or Berlin. We have been at Glogauer Straße to see a mix of fresh illustrations, handmade screen-print
If you’ve recently visited the Tempelhofer Park you will most likely have noticed the fifteen gazebos scattered across the fields. They are part of the “The World Is Not A Fair” exhibition of the HAU (Hebbel am Ufer), an artistic project with a twist. Their program is one of self-reflected irony, putting the methods of the international
Neukölln is not exactly famous for its broad choices in nice parks. With Tempelhof dominating the “park scene” in terms of reputation it always seems like such an effort to discover something new. Tempelhof is big enough for everyone after all. But the Körnerpark is something special indeed, perfectly laid in an up and coming
The story of the Spreepark Plänterwald is one of the most ridiculous around Berlin. It was pretty difficult to find entrance up until a year ago — shut down and watched closely by security, it became every photographers challenge to snap a couple of shots of the decaying, rusty games and rollercoasters. The entertainment park in Treptow-Köpenick used to
We have to thank the Ringbahn for many things: one, being a very easy way to travel around Berlins outskirts. Second, for actually defining what Berlins outskirts are. And last but not least, without Berlins Ringbahn, there would be no Berlin as we know and love and hate it. There was a posting on our favorite Berlin
