In their latest episode of the web-tv show Recreate Berlin the guys from Vice have finally arrived in my favorite dictrict of Berlin: Mitte. This time the task of the Galaxy Note Lab was to repaint Mitte. I really enjoyed how workshop leader Clé gives some insights about the development of district that are beyond the typical touristic and commercial hotspots while the participants get creative with the photos they have captured at places such as the Circle Culture Gallery at Gipsstraße. Have a look at the video after the jump.

Adolescent beauty, completely uninhibited sexuality, drugs and violence – this is what Larry Clark’s pictures deal with. With his work he revolutionized photo journalism: No other photographer before him has shown reality in a more drastic and realistic way. As opposed to the classical, neutral, matter-of-fact photo-journalist, Larry Clark himself is also part of the scene he photographs. And you also feel that he has a familiarity with the persons he portrays rather than just observing them.
With his pictures, Larry Clark not only criticizes predominat moral standards, he also creates a new, unconventional form of beauty. Even though we somehow got used to this aesthetic, everything that we see in publications such as VICE would be unthinkable without Larry Clark.
Right now, there is an exhibition running at C/O Berlin that features some of Larry Clark’s most important pictures. Check out a small preview after the jump.

Odette Annable for Vice
After the guys from Vice Magazine already climbed on top of the Teufelsberg with their Palladium boots they have now sent out American actress Odette Annable into the wild to discover some hidden gems in Berlin’s picturesque little suburb: Los Angeles. Equipped with the cool footwear she visited overlooked towers, an old brewery, a historic hotel and a few more exciting places. I love these kind of old abandoned places and we have quite a lot of them here in and around Berlin. So it’s interesting to see the same kind of places in a city like L.A. that couldn’t be any more different from Berlin. Watch a video of the little excursion with Odette after the jump.

If you are just like me looking for an antidote to the cold weather outside, check out the pictures of photographer Sandy Kim. Sandy Kim is based in San Francisco, her pictures appear in magazines such as Vice and Magic – Revue Pop Moderne, and if I look at her photos right now, I just have one wish: to be right there, in sunny San Francisco, on a party with these very people.

More impressions of this and other body parts of the young lady after the jump.

Last Weekend posed a question of vital importance.
Which of the numerous parties would I grace with my presence? First of course, I made my way to Picknick in order to clink glasses with Florian, the gorgeous doormen, who had his birthday celebrated last Saturday. Rumours were afloat, he would leave Berlin for good, but it now turned out, he remains with us a little while. I then had to make a decision, either going to Horse Meat Disco, watching all the unreachable gay guys and getting a depression or making my way to Revaler Straße, heading to Vice and Joakim and the Disco. With regard to my mental health I took off to Vice at Cargo. On my way from the nasty metro that was filled with a lot of screwed guys I met T Daance of the fabulous Macaronic Duo and his lovely girlfriend Gina who were on her way to Horse Meat Disco. After convincing them to come with us to Cargo, we there got a bit confused. Where were the free drinks we expected? Surprise! There weren’t any! After pushing away the wave of disappointment floating me I wanted to see Joakim and the Disco. But I failed in trying to enter the room. It was so crowded I couldn’t be bothered to get squashed. By the way, I once had the same feeling while being in Egypt, where I tried to walk into the inside of a pyramid, together with hundreds of other tourists…brrr. A bit of a bigger location next time, PLEASE! Hush hush, back to Picknick where some of the very young folks became a little wild during the morning hours. I guess it has been some people’s first proper tippling, ain’t it? Take a look of the pictures i have taken that night. Additionally I added some of the Lucky Strike Party that took place some time ago also at Cargo.

Cargo seems to become a hotspot! I really can’t tell why. At the Lucky Strike party I quick-freezed and caught a cystitis! What else is new? Oh! The most beautiful doormen is leaving Berlin: Picknick-Flo says goodbye. He never meant to harm anybody, he just took his work really serious… Farewell my blond angel!
Take a look at the Horse Meat flyer, damn! It suddenly feels hot in here. Pew… The parties after you know where.
Update: Join our iHeartBerlin.de Facebook Group to get on the guestlist of the Vice Party tonight.
