Description

Dedicated mailing and e-mail campaign to targeted photography & contemporary art related media. "Berlin Calling" by native Berliner Alex Flach is a collection of compelling photographs of that city and its inhabitants in its new era. In the photographer's own words the book is ten years of images that reveal how his native city has influenced and directed him, his love of contemporary culture, the street scene, music, events, and much more. A clear reference to the famous Clash album, "London Calling", the book proclaims the cultural vitality of a Berlin that, after the fall of the wall, is one of the most vibrant in the international arena.

Reviews

"Berlin today is without a doubt one of the most versatile, interesting, and innovative places in the world. Having become a magnet for young, creative people, this metropolis combines improvised everyday life with an internationally inspired artistic avant-garde. No one captures the essence of the city more authentically than Alex Flach in his photographs. Flach remains faithful to his roots, yet adds an outside perspective on the city developed through his travels in New York, Tokyo and London. His independent view of Berlin is combined with insightful re-evaluations of the earlier modes of production he has used as role models." - Highsnobiety
