TERRASSEN AM ZOO
by Holger Biermann

Over a period of three years, from 2012 to 2014, I accompanied street kids gathering in the middle of Berlin.

Taking part in the everyday life and group rituals I finally gained access to a micro society shaped by the desire to find the family most of these kids never had. The different forms of violence those kids have experienced in their childhood became an inherent component of their own personality. This violence does not necessarily turn against others, but mostly against themselves in form of massive drug abuse or self-destroying behavior like cutting themselves.

Trapped in the experience of being rejected these kids developed an identity strongly affected by refusal against parents, authorities, any own perspective and therefor themselves. This destructive attitude aims in each direction and is reflected in the works title ANTI.

“We are three photographers from different countries of Europe that decided to make Berlin our home. This city is where we met, where we started to develop the idea for our common project and where we became friends. echtzeit projekt is built on this mutual idea, our passion for photography and our companionship.”
The project:

Placed in the heart of Berlin, echtzeit projekt provides a meeting place for emerging international photographers and an opportunity to work alongside photography masters. Hosting workshops with renowned experts, echtzeit projekt is an organization founded for the purpose of helping the new generation of photographers to develop.

In workshops in the center of Berlin’s vibrant artistic community, participants will have the opportunity to confront their photographic voices. They will also study and work with other upcoming artists from all over the world.

Through facilitating these international connections among both emerging artists and masters, echtzeit projekt hopes to support the growth and development of the photography of tomorrow.

LICHTENBERG by Holger Biermann
15 aug to 11 sept

NICE TRY by Jan Michalko
12 sept to 16 okt

FENSTER61 (“WINDOW61″) uses an approx. 2 by 2 meter shop window in the very busy Torstraße, near subway Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin Mitte. Since 2005 photographers are presented in monthly changing exhibitions with works that more or less deal with Berlin.

FENSTER61 is not a gallery. FENSTER61 doesn’t have opening hours, since the visitor is in a public space. The window is lit at night.

FENSTER61.DE documents and archives the exhibitions.

Location // Torstraße 61, 10119 Berlin/Germany
U-Bahn: U2 Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, U8 Rosenthaler Platz
Tram: M8 // Bus: 240

LICHTENBERG by Holger Biermann

Lichtenberg begins where Holger Biermann’s Berlin tours usually end: behind Ostkreuz. Where the vast emptiness begins. Where he rarely encounters other people in the street. Dimensions are large. People have and leave one another plenty of space. He roams by himself through the tower block meadows, through allotment gardens and along private streets. At the city limits, Lichtenberg is all field and village. This is the story his photographs tell.

NICE TRY by Jan Michalko

For years, Jan Michalko has been roaming the streets with his camera. Always trying to find the unusual in the usual, always in analogue format, always on 28 mm. His style relies on coincidences and moments in which the prevailing chaos fuses into visual units. When asked about the driving force behind his work, he tells you: It is about images. We get the feeling that it is not just about images, but about constantly trying to find the one, the subjectively perfect image. And the answer to the question about the results of the day has long become a catchphrase: “Nice Try!”.

2 weeks in May 2011, artist in residence,
Lichtenberg Studios.

Exhibition at
