Berlin + Wien – All about the Book
Huh! It has been quite hectic getting this new baby ready for print in the last couple of weeks and YES we are in happy anticipation that everything will be in time and fresh out of the printery for this week’s opening in Berlin! Hurray! But what is this all about?
Well, it is an inspiring book about fancy summer activities.
It’s a book about life qualitiy in the two lovely cities Berlin and Vienna.
There is a 4,5 page super duper essay by the one and only Andrea Diener!
As well as some lovely philosophical lines from Nick Turpin who describes the essence of our photographic approach much better than we could do.
And of course there are 46 beautifully taken and carefully chosen photos inside! Brought to you directly from the producers!
It’s an outstanding guide on how to exercise in public…
…or to get your traffic problems solved with or without public transport.
It is definitly a PARTY HARD book!
..with lots of fashionable inspiration.
Of course, we have some urban gardening as well…
…and after all it is simply a book about the basic needs of human kind!
There will be a limited edition of numbered 100 copies only, available at the exhibitions in Berlin and Vienna for the price of € 20.
You may also order it on the web. I’ll put up an order page soon.

Reister + Von Aspern: Wien + Berlin

Pressetext:
Berlin: Hippe Hauptstadt, improvisierter Glamour, Adlon, Berlinale, Hipster am Mauerpark, Bionade am Prenzelberg, Preußenmetropole. Und Wien: Livrierte Kellner in Kaffeehäusern, Sissi-Kitsch, Punschkrapfen, Kakanien, bleisargschwere Vergangenheit und kein Pop seit Falco.
Gegensätzlicher können Hauptstädte kaum sein, zumindest auf den ersten Blick. Aber was passiert jenseits des sorgfältig gepflegten Images? Was macht Berlin und was macht Wien aus, wenn sie nicht gerade bemüht sind, sich als Wochenendreiseziel zu verkaufen? Kann man ihre Seitenstraßen, ihre Menschen, ihre Lokale und Einkaufszentren überhaupt unterscheiden? Und jenseits der Eigenwahrnehmung gibt es noch die Fremdwahrnehmung. Oder, in diesem Fall, das argwöhnische gegenseitige Beäugen: Die humorlosen deutschen Piefkes, die hinterwäldlerischen Ösis. Ist da was dran?
Kay von Aspern und Christian Reister lassen es auf einen Versuch ankommen. In ihrer ersten gemeinsamen Ausstellung zeigen sie besondere und besonders abseitige Momente, Begegnungen, Fundstücke und Zwischentöne des Lebens in den beiden so unterschiedlichen Metropolen. Welches Foto aus welcher Stadt stammt, lassen die beiden Fotografen jedoch offen und geben dem Publikum damit die Gelegenheit, nach Besonderheiten, verräterischen Details und dem vermeintlichen Lebensgefühl zu suchen, das die Straßen durchweht – oder auch nicht.
Seit vielen Jahren forografieren Kay von Aspern (Wien) und Christian Reister (Berlin) den Alltag in den Städten, in denen sie leben. Beide sind Mitglieder des Straßenfotografie-Kollektivs Seconds2Real und haben ihre Fotos bei zahlreichen Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen gezeigt. Begleitend zu den Ausstellungen in Berlin und Wien wird ein Fotoband mit Texten von Andrea Diener und Nick Turpin erscheinen.

Exhibitions 2013
I’m looking forward to some exhibition dates in the first half of 2013. The first one will be a group show „Der Raum dazwischen“ (the space inbetween) opening at Jan, 25th, at Kugelbahn Wedding. All I know is that there will be pictures of beds and portraits, every photographer is represented with just two photographs. As it is organized by the lovely Hanna Goldstein and Katja Klemm who are also responsible for the KLEISTER events, I think we can expect a stunning show and a nice opening party.
At Feb. 8th there will be the opening for a one month solo exhibition at playing with eels Gallery in Berlin Kreuzberg with my new street portrait series NEW YORKERS. I’m currenty working on the prints and I’m very enthusiastic about them.
One month later, on the 1st of March, my friend and Seconds2Real mate Kay von Aspern and I will open a joint exhibition with street photography from Berlin and Vienna at Burjuar which is located at the Neue Schule Für Fotografie in Berlin Mitte. We are planning to publish a catalogue along with the exhibition that will also be shown in Vienna just one month later.
Also, there are plans for a first solo exhibition of my NACHT series and another solo one that will be titled „Berlin Trilogy“ combining extracts from ALEX, NACHT and other Berlin work. Those dates are not finally confirmed but if we are lucky they will be also running in the first half of 2013.
Of course all details about all events will be posted here.
Stay tuned + happy new year!
Charity auction
List of all artwork (in progress)
I donated a signed copy of my ALEX book with an original photo print.
“Unter Druck – street culture” is a club for the homeless as well as for the socially marginalized. It is for people living under the breadline who are willing to promote their interests with self-made ideas and self-initiative. (read more here). I have known Unter Druck e.V. for a long time and therefor know that this is really a worthwhile project to support.
