Hello photo lovers,

I have visited this museum last year and it was a very cool place to do some interior photography. The building was an old squatters building and when the fotografiska photo museum bought it, they made a promise that they would keep the building and the interior in its original state. And that means everything is literally covered in graffiti. And I think that's just beautiful.

The building consists of 5 floors and they all got their own style of exhibitions. They also rented out spaces for events and party's, like this room. With a very nice view over the streets of Berlin.

A corridor between two exhibition rooms is a work of art in itself.

There is a huge staircase running from bottom to the fifth floor. I made a story about it a couple of weeks ago.

This corridor was very cool because of the glass door at the end. I used a little bit of a slower shutter speed so the people behind the door became ghosts.

I like the edit I dd of this picture. The colors are very nice here and that gives a very interesting atmosphere. And especially with the man in the wheelchair behind the glass door. He's also a star in my next photo.

In the attic there was a big empty space. The spotlight were already hanging, ore still hanging from the previous exhibition, and that made art by its self. There was a screening of a contemporary art piece and the people who were watching it were nicely light up by the piece.

Empty walls end the spotlights.

One of the exhibitions in the museum was about the American hip-hop culture. Conscious, Hip-Hop, Unconscious
Very interesting photographs from the history of Hip-Hop until the modern ages artists. A lot of very cool black and withe pictures from the seventies and the eighties and of coursers all the party pictures of today.

They even build a room of a teenager Hip-Hop enthusiast. At least that is what an Image search told me. I lost the picture of the information that was hanging next to the room.

"This image is a portrait of a teenager's room in Milan, Italy, taken by Annie Leibovitz as part of the IKEA "Life at Home" report. The project features 25 unique homes from around the world"

This was part of another exhibition but I forgot which one. I think you just need to go here if you are in Berlin. I took the time in here because it was snowing and it was very cold outside that day.
