abandoned lot, berlin, germany


an empty lot, adjacent to friedrich strasse, berlin, germany... I found it wandering not to far from my hostel, my first day in the city...

spray cans, rags, cigarettes, with an ever-changing canvas of walls, buses, and any/all surfaces activates the lot with a relentless urban intensity...

further in, layered within the graffiti lies a small artists collective, housed under tents, shipping containers, and makeshift structures... sculptors and painters working in concert with their environment to defy convention through art...

a fitting slogan for a space unabashedly embracing flux, defined by nothing but open and defiant expression of art and energy...
