The Influence Of Night Life On Art with Berghain’s Sven Marquardt
The Challenges Of Photography with Berghain’s Sven Marquardt
Raised in the former Eastern sector, Sven picked up the camera “entirely by accident. After school I didn’t really know what to do, I did an apprenticeship as a photographer because I was not interested in going to university.” Despite this indifference, he was able to recognize that his world was one that was inherently unique and presented an equally unique set of challenges, so the need to document it proved a natural instinct. “In Prenzlauer Berg…things just weren’t accessible. We weren’t able to get vinyls, we couldn’t go out and buy leather jackets. So the fact that things were not accessible makes you creative.”
