WASSUP ROCKERS by Christoph Voy @19:77

It’s dirty, it just looks clean – is writen on a warning sign from the operators of WHITE TRASH to their visitors. The English phrase has a lot of Berlin humor, which has always been based on contradiction. At the same time, it also symbolically refers to the origins of nightlife, to its dark side. Christoph Voy is part of this scene and not only its silent observer. Day and night, light and dark – Christoph Voy’s photography lives from these contrasts and this finds its correspondence in the strongly contrast-rich realization. Voy doesn’t gloss over anything, but doesn’t dramatize anything either – his gaze is neither uninvolved nor voyeuristic.
