Berlin's club scene, an international benchmark for improvised coolness, is defined by its software: people, fashion, music, performance, drama. Spanning a period of 10 years, Martin Eberle's stunning photographs are the first to document these locations as they really are. By radically reducing them to their hardware, the empty space, as well as an almost brutal juxtaposition of run-down facades and lovingly crafted interiors, he captures their legendary, ramshackle hipness perfectly. Filling this vaguely unreal, static void are personal anecdotes by well-known promoters and club patrons who have "already collapsed in pretty much every corner, " delivering an uneasy declaration of love for transience and enthusiasm reverberating in the clean, architectonic accuracy of the pictures.Eberle, Martin is the author of 'Temporary Spaces', published 2002 under ISBN 9783931126797 and ISBN 393112679X.
