Berlin Hermannplatz. You like it or you don't like it. I like it a lot. I'm absolutly fascinated of it.
As the heart of Neukölln, it shows me pretty much every way of life and every lifestyle that this neighborhood has to offer. And these are many: hipsters, creatives, migrants of all generations and origins, freaks, natives, junkies, business and homeless people, dropouts and many more.
I wanted to get in touch. Try to get a little glimpse into each little individual universe. To get a picture of each one. And: to take a picture of every single one.
An empty snack bar on Hermannplatz became my photo studio and transformed into a black box, a black hole. Absorbed all noise. As if by a pull, the viewer's attention is drawn to the people portrayed. They return the look. And reveal a little secret.
