Kunstpark Ost
\nMerian Magazine 1999<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In the late 1990s, the Kunstpark Ost was created on the former Pfanni site in Munich, with a multitude of clubs, bars, restaurants and studios. Tens of thousands of visitors crowded there every weekend to celebrate.\u00a0<\/p>

After learning that Merian magazine was planning a Munich issue for that year, I arranged with the picture desk that no one else would be commissioned on this subject until my photographs had been reviewed.<\/p>

For the next three weeks, I spent the nights from Thursday to Sunday often until four or five in the morning in the various clubs and bars, where, thanks to a letter of recommendation from the leaseholder, I was able to move around freely.<\/p>

In the Milchbar, bathed entirely in red light, Blur\u2019s fantastic 'Song 2' pounded in my ears as I took photographs.
At the Titty Twister, a stripper danced on a tiny stage above the entrance while I crouched up in the rafters, trying not to fall and become part of the show myself.
At the Sunday Ladies\u2019 Night at the New York Table Dance Bar, I was the only man in the room besides the strippers.
An interesting experience as well.<\/p>

In the end it didn\u2019t become a solo feature, but most of the photographs \u2013 including those for the opening double spread \u2013 were mine, at least\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
