maintenance on subwaytrack U2

riding home on my bike, i have to pass by the intersection schönhauser allee and bornholmer straße. on this evening spectators had a perfect view on the effect of steelworkers cutting steel. with their blowtorches. they were cutting steel on the U2 bridge going over the intersection, causing showers of sparks pouring on to the tarmac below. Spectators gathered and photographers were busy taking pictures and shooting movies. a spectacle at night, recalling memorys of childhood burning sparkler’s on christmas eve.

SCHEISS SOMMER

not quite the real hot summer in town yet (at the moment just 22 degrees), on may 26th at 10:30 pm we launched the camapgne for arena berlin.

fucking summer / scheiss sommer is their claim for the upcoming season for 2009. our operation includes a complete image and ci campagne - posters, online, social networks, adds and much more. check out and sign in for facebook and myspace or see the flickr foto collection.

this really nice industrial area, consisting mainly of old brick buildings and an awsome container ship in the water of the bypassing river spree, being used as chill-out pool, will present themselves with a great program.


since about a week berlin is (not quite) cobbled with the great theme posters. at certain sites they become fan items and get ragged of the wall.

but where is the theme for chilling?

WOORIDUL Hospital 27th Anniversary - a Spanish Night in Seoul

On Friday 15th May, PLATOON KUNSTHALLE hosted around 800 guests for a spanish night theme on the occasion of wooridul's 27th anniversary and the MOU signing ceremony with its partner in spain.

what people probably astonished most is to see PLATOON KUNSTHALLE in a very unusual set up with the whole spanish atmosphere including lightening, food, decoration, performances and music.

let the images speak for themselves.

OH-LOGO! AT TNT VOL. 3 IN SEOUL

at tnt vol. 3 oh-logo! member sascha ironed money in studio c, which was transformed in a surreal office. now my 5000 won bill is neatly ceiled in a plastic bag with a certificate^^

impressive were also the t-shirts made of real 1 chinese yuen and indian rupee banknotes by oh-logo!. through this occasion we got to know that it is not allowed to change south-korean banknotes in any way because the banknotes are property of the state of korea. koreans own just the worth of the money. interesting!
