Terassen am Zoo

„Terraces At The Zoo“ – I’ve been taking photos in Berlin since 2003, most recently in Oranienburger Straße, where the ladies stand. It’s dark and the flash of the camera reveals my picture: two young women in ski suits, seen from behind. Click! They both swing around like a double door and grab me. ‚Give me the film,‘ they demand, pushing me against the wall and threatening me with pepper spray. So I hand it over. But they’re willing to pay for the next one. They each give me a euro. Sometimes unusual things happen in Berlin.
