WORKS

Culture, connected.

Follow the work through its real places.

KEEP EXPLORING

Cities and Worlds.

CITY

Berlin ↗︎

Divided streets, studio rooms and dance floors. Trace the films and records that learned to use Berlin's fractures.

CITY

San Francisco ↗︎

Suspense on the waterfront, chases on impossible grades and music built in shared rooms.

WORLD · TV

Babylon Berlin ↗︎

Montage: paste torn photographs of real Berlin back into the Rote Burg, the Moka Efti and the ministry; ride the 1914 Schöneberg paternoster and step out at a floor; light the Berliner Ensemble chandelier to find the hidden gunman.

WORLD · Movies

Run Lola Run ↗︎

Kickoff: kick the ball to restart the run and the same Berlin streets come round while the places that decide each ending light up; swing open the bank vault to find a hotel pool, and put one chip on 20 twice.

WORLD · TV

Sense8 ↗︎

Cluster: stand in one sensate’s city and call the others in, each opening a round window of their real filming place inside yours; send out season one’s four directing units; turn between the real Pride parades the cast filmed inside.
