Denise Ferrante, a creative friend of mine, went to Cambodia for 2 weeks and came back with some AMAZING images. Here's a video of the opening of her exhibition in Berlin-Kreuzberg attended by all of Berlin's finest glitterati. If you're interested in finding out more about Denise, leave me a message in comments.
As usual, Pariser Platz is under construction, this time to build the new subway line from the new Hauptbahnhof (previously Lehrter Bahnhof) to Alexanderplatz. A large panorama of the ruined Pariser Platz after WWII is used to camouflage the construction site in front of the Brandenburger Tor.
The first of May is a very special day in Berlin. Since the 70s the left has celebrated the Day of the Worker with demonstrations and a street party in, where else, Kreuzberg. And then someone started blasting Push the Button by the Chemical Brothers, and she went wild.
Live from Karneval der Kulturen in Kreuzberg. Every year Kreuzberg, the most culturally challenged district in Berlin, holds a really great party hosted by all the foreigners in Berlin. It's already eclipsed Love Parade as the biggest event in Berlin. We had over a million people this year.
The streets liven up for the weekend and every little shop has something to show. As you can hear from the Sportsbar video. Scary DJ.
A video of the long park leading down to the Landwehrkanal from Potsdamer Platz. Underneath it is about 5 levels of underground train track going to the new Hauptbahnhof.
Another panorama of Schinkelplatz with the Kronprinzenpalais and the Friedrichswerderkirche. This Platz was recently restored to its former glory.
A panorama from the Oberbruecke to the southeast, starting in Kreuzberg with Treptow in the distance and ending in Friedrichshain.
