More DescriptionThe collection was not intended as such at the beginning. It was about engaging with and surrounding oneself with the unknown, the incomprehenible. It was about the fascination of imagination and bringing this fascination into one' s own home, surrounding oneself with it, in order to remain aware of the constant stimulus of life. The collector has brought in the depths of the unconscious, of philosophy, of painting technique, and he has brought the wild and bustling Berlin into his own contemplative four walls. This collection also tells a contemporary story. It tells of a Berlin of the 90s and 00s in which so much was possible because there were large spaces for little money. The collection also tells us about backyard galleries, improvised project spaces that later became institutions and about " Club Berlin" , which brought together parties with art, techno with politics.
