Home Sweet Home at Fetishnale

The inspiration to create rope art on the iconic sign in front of Berghain came from Anti Shanti during a conversation we had at Bogolepov’s concert at Kantine am Berghain on September 4th, 2024. At the time, I was photographing the concert, and Sasha was performing. The idea immediately excited me, and together we brought it to life.

During the session, as I hung in front of Berghain—a symbol of Berlin—I felt a profound connection. It was the essence of how I feel living in Berlin, my home. After all these years, I can confidently say: I love Berlin.

As I planned to participate in the Fetishnale exhibition in December 2024, I suggested to Sasha that we revisit the set and recreate the scene for the exhibition.

On October 8th, the weather was exceptionally beautiful for autumn—warm and sunny, which allowed our stunning model, Mistress Lu, to feel comfortable wearing a dress.

The result was this incredible shot, showcased at the Fetishnale Festival in the Untergeschoss der Pandora Art Gallery (December 6–8, 2024).

This artwork is not for sale, as it’s a personal expression of my feelings.
