Zerstört: Original Artwork
April, 2015: Now a luxury condo, the Neu West Building once served as a home for squatters and artists in central Berlin. In the years after the fall of the Berlin wall and preceding most of Berlin's startup boom, the abandoned building hosted many experimental art exhibits, avant-garde dance performances and eclectic techno nights. I contributed a few surreal art pieces to two of the space's final events, both appropriately named "Zerstört" (German for destroyed) before all of the artists left for zanier pastures and a more upper-middle-class clientele moved in. Given the hedonistic nature of these 'exhibitions,' I tried in my own work to highlight the theme of destruction – symbolizing the end of the building's squatter culture, and, quite possibly, also the behavior of some of the event's more exuberant and existentially-minded attendees.
