BLY in HONG KONG

 

Behind the scenes.

 

Asia. Finally. We did a shooting for BERLIN LOVES YOU in HONG KONG. On january first we had the chance to take Violet the model Harry C and his assistant + Crew through Hong Kong and take a great couple of shots. Harry C is one of the upcoming chinese photographers who – amongst Berlin Loves You shoots for interntaional brands or international celebrities like Kate Moss and lots of Asian celebrities. Harry, thanks again for your time and the great pictures – which will be published on the Berlin Loves You Webpage in a bit. Hong Kong is a crazy city and I loved being there and doing a shoot for Berlin Loves You.

“Der Himmel muss warten” Photo Exhibition in Kreuzberg

Yesterday  we went to the opening of “Heaven must wait”. The exhibition shows result of a documentary of Berlin performance art subculture. And subculture it was! The audience went from punks to young and old people. Dogs with jackets and I am not really sure if I saw a cat or not. Beer and red vine out of plastic cups was served. Smoking only outside. When an opening is good you can`t see it from the outside because the windows are clouded. Fridays and Saturdays are a heaven for art lovers in Berlin. Especially in Mitte around Aguststr. you can literally fall from one opening into  the other. This one was in Kreuzberg and very interesting because it had this nice but also bizarre performance included. 

Seeing all these characters inspired my friend Christoph to tell me about his plans to make a TV Series set in Berlin including many different characters whos lifes change in one drastic moment. More to come once he has the rights secured ;) 

Anyways, go and check these things out even if you think that it might not be your cup of tea – it might very well be your bottle of beer though! This is Berlin.

Winter in Berlin … COLD! Pictures from Cityslang.

So here it is – finally a really cold and white winter in Berlin. Reminds us of how close the east and the cold Russia really is. I am posting some pictures of our friend Jürgen Gässler who is a photographer in Berlin and has been here longer then the most of us – how does 30 years sound?! Check out his webpage: Cityslang. 

 

Another Sunday at the Flohmarkt

Here in Berlin, Sundays are about leisure, relaxation, and fun. If you’re not still tripping the light fantastic at Panorama Bar or nursing a hangover over Sunday brunch, chances are you’re probably headed to the flea market. With dozens of markets scattered throughout the city, you probably won’t have to go far to partake in this Berlin Sunday tradition.

Flohmarkt am Mauerpark is a busy, sprawling market located next to the Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Sportpark in Prenzlauer Berg. Bargain hunters and fashionistas alike gather here each week to peruse the seemingly endless rows of tents, kiosks, and tables. Though the variety of things for sale is impressive, it’s the huge numbers of items that can be really striking: Hundreds of rubber office stamps, boxes upon boxes of Japanese slippers, rows of tacky landscape paintings, dozens of chandeliers, towers of old reading glasses, and zippers in every size, shape and color imaginable.

Looking for some GDR-era furniture to give your flat a touch of East German chic? There are enough white plastic chairs, glass coffee tables, and geometric light fixtures to decorate every trendy dive bar in Friedrichahin. In need of that perfect one-of-a-kind t-shirt to show the world how impossibly cool yet casual you are? There is no shortage of colorful silk screened delights at the Flohmarkt. Even if you don’t know what you’re looking for… you’ll probably find three of them at the flea market.

You can find more information about the Flohmarkt am Mauerpark at www.mauerparkmarkt.de

Beautiful sunset views from Flakturm Humboldthain

You may not find yourself in Wedding often. Few people outside the local community visit this remarkably unglamorous, working class district in the West. Though certainly not the most stylish part of town, Wedding posesses a certain grit which gives it its charm. Like Kreuzberg without the hipsters, Wedding is the kind of place where Muslim-run corner stores will sell no alcohol, yet items of questionable legality are easily purchased in the back rooms of sketchy shopfronts. Not exactly a tourist hotspot.

High above Wedding’s busy streets and bustling markets, is an unexpected island of tranquility. The Flakturm is one of three anti-aircraft towers erected in Berlin during World War II. The massive, partially demolished concrete structure stands at the top of a man-made hill near the Gesundbrunnen Ubahn station, overlooking Wedding and Volkspark Humboldthain. A climb up a spiraling path brings you to a small park amidst the remains of the tower, where you’ll find some of the best sunset views in this remarkably flat city.

Hackesche Höfe uncensored

The Hackesche Höre are one of the main tourist attractins in Berlin and a pretty good area to go shopping and eat some good Döner at All in on Döner. However right now there is some construction going on and there are clearly more people then the garbage cans can handle!
