You Are A Marvel is so much more than just another street art video – Jasmin Siddiqui (aka Hera) reads a beautiful and inspirational quote from Pablo Casals, a Catalan cellist and conductor, as we watch her create a huge mural in Los Angeles with her partner Falk Lehmann (aka Akut One), the other half […]
Matthias Makarinus has produced some of the best Berlin videos around and regular readers may recognise his name from my posts about his Rainy Day and Festival of Lights 2010 videos. His latest project Berlin Time features shots from both those videos and shows us Berlin’s changing face during the day and throughout the seasons. […]
This video by Isabelle Pett shows Berlin street artist Plotbot KEN at work in a former chemical factory just outside Berlin. The editing and the industrial soundtrack (The Sect – Underworld Machine Code Remix) are well suited to the setting and KEN’s post-apocalyptic artworks, created on four large storage tanks.

I find the comparison to Banksy in the title annoying given their very different styles but if you can get past that, Inside the Mind of ALANIZ, Berlin’s Banksy offers some fascinating insight into the motivation and creative process of the Berlin-based street artist. Whilst taking Vocativ on a tour of his art in Berlin, […]
With less than a week to go until the winter solstice it’s time to celebrate one of the most beautiful times of the year in Berlin, autumn, with a short film from Nehemias Colindres – Berlin, Berlin: Autumn. The film is an ode to Berlin set to some beautiful images of the city and, as […]

If anyone is […]
Lieder by Adel Tawil should possibly come with a warning as it is essentially 32 Ohrwürme in one (if my Maths is right). The English translation of the title is ‘Songs’ and the lyrics refer to other songs, e.g. the first line ‘Ich ging wie ein Ägypter’ – I walk like an Egyptian – is a […]
Let’s be honest, a dancing bear is bound to get your attention. If you’ve been in Berlin over the last month or so you will have noticed the posters for Berlin Tanzt with a bear captured mid-leap in many of the U-Bahn stations. But when that bear appears in a video and is as tall […]
The eagle-eyed Urban Explorers amongst you may recognise the location of this promotional shot for the new song from Paris / Berlin based outfit Parlez-vous anglais ? as it’s the basketball court at Kaserne Krampnitz. The video for Last Paradise On Earth, a catchy bit of Disco-Synth-Pop was filmed at a number of Berlin locations, […]
