Lately i've been mesmerized by the idea of Berlin, i've never been there and frankly i've never been interested on going; but it has been constantly in my mind for some time now.
A while ago i watched this short film by Ridley Scott produced by Prada Perfums, Berlin looks so futuristic, sleek and cool, with this restrained elegancy to it.
Then this week through a preposterous "documentary" on XX century's architects i discovered Mies's Neue Nationalgalerie which was his last work and where, to my eyes, his aesthetic principals are the strongest and work in a different way compared to his other buildings. The manipulation of light and dark again makes me think of this elegant and otherworldly place.
On top of all this I just discovered that Oliafur Eliasson, one of my favorite artists, has his studio there...
