As an unvarnished retreat in a city that is becoming more and more overpainted I see bar and
club toilets as an expression of the diversity of Berlin's nightlife. Besides other projects which
often approach this subject by shots of empty venues or through portraits of the visitors,
I photograph the toilets of the bars and clubs I go to. I remain other guests anonymous
and point my camera on floors that have not been cleaned for a long time, walls discoloured
by smoke and casual toilet art. Some of the toilets look clinically clean with their coke-white
urinals, others like GDR relics. Some of the cisterns are used as beverage racks. Pretty sure
someone has rolled his bill here. This is where friends meet, where people hook up, where
deals are sealed. The photographs show glaring snapshots of a raw and pulsating city. And
before these places become quiet, I want to capture them with pee Berlin. The title refers to
the current capital city campaign ‚be Berlin’. The series is ongoing since 2012.
