RELATED: Sven Marquardt’s ‘Futures Past’ Photo Exhibit Deserves Your Attention In an exclusive interview with When in Manila, he chatted to us about his photography, his appreciation for Asia, upbringing, career, Berlin, wanderlust, and why it annoys him that his name is always associated with that famous night club in Germany’s capital. ‘Future’s Past’ is a collection of mainly black and white portraits from the past 30 years. The renowned professional photographer nearly exclusively uses public transportation in his native Berlin, and when asked about his night job, is quick to reference his team and point out that manning the door at Berghain is ‘not a solo show’.Īfter a collective artist exhibition at Pineapple Lab last year, the German photographer returned to Manila and launched his first solo photo exhibition in the country on June 29 at the Yuchengco Museum. A devout vegetarian, he is, as we learn, refreshingly down-to-earth.

Berlin has always been the setting as well as the inspiration for my pictures and projects.” It was at the end of the 1990s that my camera again became a stylistic device for expressing our attitude towards life. In a city in transition after the wild eighties and the fall of the Berlin Wall, I had for the first time put my camera aside. ![]() Marquardt said the following about the exhibit: “For more than thirty years, club culture has determined both my life-as a curator of countless nights-and, of course, my life as a photographer. Marquardt’s works will only be displayed for four days, till May 21. The presentation will take place at the immersive ArtsDistrict Brooklyn and will feature some of his earliest shots. The Disturbing Beauty exhibit is set to open on May 18 at New York Art Week. Following successful residencies in Belgrade and Sydney, he will now bring his artifacts to New York City next week. ![]() A staple of the city’s bustling nightlife, the bouncer of the landmark Berghain nightclub has chronicled his surroundings through photography over the past four decades and has showcased his work across the world.
