Berlin seen in 4x5
Self-portrait on an icy winter day in April
A warm jacket in April, of course, the weather is still like wintertime. But time with the local people is essentially only spent walking by. The restaurants are closed and the coffee shops too. How nice could it be to sit in a Panoramic bar to linger for a brief moment, silently watching the crowd from every perspective? Corona times brutally stripes the city from its party flair; who will spend time here? Corona functionalizes Houdini-like disappearances in the streets.
You have to get into it to the concept of the locked-down city. The lock-down makes accomplices without ever being loved! Digress, fool around, stay at home, all the time. Early in the morning, wait at corners and rejoice in what is going on, with yes, a new adventure waiting on the next street corner—in contrast, stumbling around dry pine trees in the Tiergarten, as if they have you tangled up, in the spontaneous drunkenness like in a fragrance concept. Depending on which flowers or magnolias scent you smell.
Does it make a difference whether you meet a city in winter jackets or light dresses? Indeed, as it starts with the smell and develops in seeing differently - even in Corona times.
