Akira Shimada | Life is Edit. #022 Berlin: A City of Dreams on a Shoestring Gallery

Akira Shimada | Trabant, a car made in the former East Germany. It's now displayed as a tourist attraction, but you can actually rent and drive one.
Akira Shimada | The hotel interior is super clean white and mint green. The surprise that comes from this contrast is truly art.
Akira Shimada | The National Gallery was unfortunately closed. But the icy road, modern architecture, and artworks are super cool.
Akira Shimada | A prime example is a place called Galerie Tacheles. Apparently, artists illegally occupied an old building (a former school?) and have continued to create works there. Perhaps the city has given up trying to evict them? It's now a free-for-all, and has become a prominent tourist spot in Berlin. Only in Berlin could something like this be permitted, thanks to its open-mindedness. Such a generous spirit!

Akira Shimada | From the right, Elie, Kuro-chan, and Mari-chan. DJ Elie-san chilled us out with his excellent music selection. Events are scarce during winter, perhaps they're hibernating until spring?
Akira Shimada | Yosuke-san is smiling gently. His kindness really shines through. The event was a great success with many visitors. He served hot sake, jokingly saying, 'This is traditional Japanese hospitality!' (laughs).
Akira Shimada | A somewhat Showa-era? Japanese concept shop (laughs).

Akira Shimada | I couldn't talk about Paris as I was focused on Berlin, but my recent visit to Paris was also quite impressive and lovely. After the Paul Smith show, posters of Serge Gainsbourg lined the walls of a nearby cinema that screens old films. I'm drawn to old things, aren't I? (laughs).
