FRAGMENTS
dedicated to the Berlin Club Culture
film by Maria & Tobias Düsing in collaboration with the ICONIC HOUSE OF SAINT LAURENT
While for many the shutdown was over, the Berlin club scene was still standing still. Like forgotten fragments of an urban memory. Like parts of an organism that is silent but still breathing. Clubs are an essential part of our city and culture. And we are part of them.
In collaboration with THE ICONIC HOUSE OF SAINT LAURENT, this movie was created in front of closed doors of Berlin: Berghain, SO36, Möbel Olfe and Schwuz. These four clubs play a special role for the collective and the community and also represent many places that are also affected by the standstill.
Mother Leo Saint Laurent and the Iconic House have made their mark as the leading force for Ballroom/Vogue culture within Germany. This fundamental work has created an artistic and self-expressive community which is continuously growing.
The focus is on exchange with the international scene, as well as going beyond the artistic output, highlighting educational events that go beyond the structural and social components of Ballroom culture. A need for more spaces, places and events by and for the LGBTQ and POC community is reflected in the worldwide renaissance of this American underground culture.
