My brother just got his roll of film from our weekend trip to Berlin developed, and I wanted to share the best parts with you.
A huge thank you to Christine, who sent me wonderful tips about where to go, eat, and see. Our favorite exhibition was "Cloud Cities" by Tomas Saraceno at Hamburger Bahnhof.
Saraceno is an architect by training but has definitely branched into the realm of sculpture and installation. His exhibit was so inviting and allowed us as viewers to interact physically with the piece.
Airplants grew freely in plastic bubbles all interconnected with black thread. It was like entering a modern Hanging Gardens of Babylon. We loved climbing into the bubbles and crawling around inside the giant terrariums.
If you're in the Berlin area, this is not an exhibit to be missed! It's the best 6 euros I ever spent.
