He knew since his youth, Where he sits down, the seat next to him free, in the S-Bahn. And a Punk looks with advanced age is not necessarily confidence-inspiring. Two large lower lip piercings, hands full of rings and barely a piece of skin without a tattoo. This is Sven Marquardt.
But this giant guy, the type of bouncer, has made perhaps the most delicate and entrancing, most of the photos that has ever recorded a Punk. It was still deep in the GDR, as a group of friends created their own world, in photos and Videos from still breathtaking beauty. Also in Berlin they rarely looked so old, gray, broken-down East Berlin. What are the prospects, what are the beauty of decay! About of the old Gasometer from which, as from a Dream, where the Ernst-Thälmann-Park is closed there. Photographer: Robert Paris.
May Punks have a primary perception of the magnificence of the ruins. “Beauty and transience,” says Anne Katrin The new Film about a group of self-world East residents between yesterday and today. These photos are art full, sharp contrasts are icons. And before the stones from the day before yesterday, we often see a young woman, entrancing and repellent at the same time, included in the most surreal Arrangements. Her name is Dominique Hollenstein, of all Dome. Sven Marquardt says that this strong and yet so feminine women would have fascinated him.
photographers from the East knew of any
After thirty years, the photographer and his Model, try again: a picture, as then, the thirty or so years, yet not cheating. Beauty in decay? And all the while they are talking about: Marquardt became after 1990, the doorman of the Berlin techno club Berghain, because a photographer from the East knew of none.
That has changed in the last few years. And Dominique Hollenstein has left a world of their own bubble never, your home is like a slightly morbid Dollhouse, she makes art rose arrangements and, therefore, often hundreds of kilometers on weekly markets. The Bavarian women, you are at the best. To lead a life, a life as the people who call themselves “normal”, you have never tried it.
