Streetart Berlin
One of the nice things about my sidejob as an editor for the german online photography magazine Kwerfeldein.de are the presstrips I do from time to time. Last friday I flew to Berlin to test a new camera for Samsung, the NX11. Havn’t been to Berlin in the last years, it was not a long thinking process when I was asked to come, especially with the streetart topic they had chosen. I think streetart is a very interesting way of presenting art or also photography. Exhibitions normally only reach a very limited audience while streetart uses the public to present the work and interact in that way with a lot more people, especially also with people that might normally never see it. Some time ago I wrote about last years TED prize winner JR, who is using that idea for his projects and I find myself recently more and more thinking about concepts for street exhibitions that could bring some of the stories I try to tell to a different audience and create awareness that otherwise might not be created. To make it short, I was happy see some of Berlin’s streetart.
To the right you can see some of the pictures I took. All postproduction was made on the iPad with Photogene and Pictureshow. Afterwards I imported it to iMovie to create the little slideshow.
