Berlin Calling Exhibition

With the release of new book, “Berlin Calling”, Berlin-native Alex Flach presents an impressive collection of photographs on life in the city over the span of twelve years. The collection includes prints in both color and black and white, and portraits from all walks of life in the city—artists, skateboarders, a dog, and even—in perhaps more tumultuous times—a write-up from the Berlin police president.

In response to The Clash’s famous album “London Calling,” Flach’s work depicts the pumping creative heart of Berlin and simultaneously functions as a timely marker of the city’s fast-changing pace since the fall of the wall in 1989.

Born in 1974, Alex Flach grew up in Berlin as a “street kid”. In the mid-90’s he discovered photography as a medium with which to document his experiences. In 1998 he became photo editor at Lodown Magazine. His work as a photographer has taken him to many places around the world. Alongside countless publications in renowned magazines, some of his clients include: Levi’s, Adidas, Vans, Spiewak, Nike and Etnies. He has also worked on video projects for Carhartt Europe, Sony Music and Nokia.
