alluring decay

this is a closeup of a plastified poster hanging in a glass box in public space, slowly decaying and bits and pieces coming off ...

a detail shot of the rotting world of Berlin Ostkreuz metro station

urban construct ;)

the Berlin Arena area with loads of industrial decay ...

this could as well be a doorbell in Alice in Wonderland as I thought, but instead it's a real thing in one of Berlin's old and authentic quarters.

vox populi :)

a detail of the former complex of slaughterhouses in Berlin Friedrichshain, this one having been the bovine auction hall, nowadays decaying helplessly despite a most beautiful, original art nouveau design.

One of the many decaying structures in the old Berlin quarter of Friedrichshain, Richard-Sorge-Strasse. Many of them are being used nowadays as locations for concerts, alternative artist shops etc., but others just languish like this one.

scenario in Berlin Lichtenberg quarter, Lückstrasse. Many houses are condemned to abandon and slow decay.

writing on the pink gate ...

the realms where amazing creativity and the stance of alternative lifestyles are really strong!

one of my favourite things of Berlin: the untouched, original buildings telling stories upon stories!

staircase decay and flair within an old building in Berlin's Oranienburger Strasse.

scenario at the entrance to the still existing Tacheles in Berlin, which isn't the same anymore as I knew it in its origins, but still, remaining a space for counterculture and all expressions of no main-stream arts :)
