BERLIN (KREUZBERG,) GERMANY: CONTROL YOUR CULTURE

Published on by jacquelinemhadel3 Comments

“The first step – especially for people with energy and drive and talent, but not money – the first step to controlling your world is to control your culture. To model and demonstrate the kind of world you demand to live in. To write the books. Make the music. Shoot the films. Paint the art.”
― Chuck Palahniuk

BERLIN (KREUZBERG,) GERMANY STREET ART: THE RICHEST IN BEAUTY

Published on by jacquelinemhadel2 Comments

“I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.” ~W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil

BERLIN, GERMANY STREET ART & GRAFFITI: ABSOLUTE CLARITY

Published on by jacquelinemhadel4 Comments

“A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity. When for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh. It’s as though it had all just come into existence.
I can never make these moments last. I cling to them, but like everything, they fade. I have lived my life on these moments. They pull me back to the present, and I realize that everything is exactly the way it was meant to be.” ~Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man

BERLIN, GERMANY: I AM A CAMERA

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

“I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking. Recording the man shaving at the window opposite and the woman in the kimono washing her hair. Some day, all this will have to be developed, carefully printed, fixed.”― Christopher Isherwood, Goodbye to Berlin

BERLIN, GERMANY: TOPOGRAPHY OF TERROR

Published on by jacquelinemhadel2 Comments

The Topography of Terror is an indoor/outdoor museum on the grounds of the former Gestapo headquarters (Nazis 1933-45.) The extended part of the Wall you see here, is the only part left in central Berlin, that was not demolished. Of course, there is still the East Side Gallery, which stretches for longer, but it’s not in this specific area…
