Berlin is a city that plays a strong role within contemporary culture. Berlin has always represented the main crossroad of Europe. Its geographical, cultural and economic position on the European continent makes Berlin the capital of European contemporary culture.
I visited Berlin many times and, its soul is shifted between past and present. From a divided city to a symbol of European unity, beyond ideologies and different cultural backgrounds, today’s Berlin is the Mecca for contemporary art practice.
Colors in Berlin at nighttime got charged of particular tonalities, a mix of brown and electric blue fill the air. Berlin is one of the few city in the world where outdoor environment has its own atmosphere like I was walking through a large living room full of velvet sofas, neon lights, old grey color marble and stones, fluorescent doors.
When streetlights are on, Berlin becomes one of the most inspiring city in the world. Its gothic shadows, its poetical sadness, give the magic feeling to be in a city with a soul, with a strong creative energy that seems to sleep but it’s very alive. Berlin is an infinite city, an immense workshop where I can feel the flow of life, the sound of the future, the beauty of the arts.
