To Know the Dark...
To go into the dark with a light is to know the light
To know the dark, go dark, go without sight
And find that dark, too, blooms and sings
And is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

Photographer Karen Stuke created a beautiful opera house stage design now on display in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition. Throughout the city, residents have been discussing the subject of the public financing Berlin opera houses. She used a red Kolo Havana photo box for the model base of a proposed opera house to be built in the working class district of Berlin-Wedding. Her model includes a well-designed floor plan, lights and a background displaying her unique pinhole photographs.
Karen’s passion for opera and theater started at a young age, leading her to become an influential stage and theater photographer. She believes that theater is an art form and her cause is to keep the play alive long after the curtain falls. She developed the idea of a camera obscura theater photograph, combining multiple exposures into one single photograph, to capture the essence of the play.
Karen’s work is on display at Monochrom, Ackerstrasse 23-26, one of five fine retailers participating in the three-week walking tour celebrating Berlin’s creative community.

With thanks to Chris Dorley-Brown for the "heads up".
In my twilight I keep a watching brief on what I like to think of as my locality. Is Hackney Wick my locality? Four stops on the Overground put it into “local territory" rather than “local patch” but I’m going to include it in my loose embrace of creative London places.
So what is happening in the shadow of Olympic Park? Whilst I was there I picked up a free copy of The Wick. As a retired urban designer it’s the most interesting read that I’ve had for a long time, plenty to think about, grist for the mill . . . so I’m going to give myself time to think. Meanwhile I’ll leave myself a hook to come back to, I quote: “Having been a local for over two decades, I can tell you this: Hackney Wick, once a beloved asylum of misfits, runaways and creatives, is nowadays slithering down the slippery slope of gentrification stagnation. Little uproars like Hackney WickED give the community some much needed traction.”

Artist Julia Antonia and writer/poet Chetan Akhil worked together to create this beautiful Kolo book now on display in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition. They chose a red Kolo Newport to display their work, “Letter to Snow-Woman.” The fairy tale book is brilliantly illustrated by Julia and narrated with the haikus written by Chetan.
Along with their contribution, they added a small book using a Kolo Essex Insert expressing their interpretation of the big city. The haiku, written by Chetan, is translated to say, “Haiku. The small in the big. The big in the small. Times and tides. Big city code.”
Both Julia and Chetan are celebrated artists in the creative community. Julia studied at Berlin University of the Arts and was distinguished with an assortment of awards and scholarships. Chetan’s TV production “Nicht wunschlos werden” (“Not to Be Perfectly Happy”) won the prestigious German Journalist Award in 1996.
Julia Antonia and Chetan Akhil’s works are on display at Aarven at Rosa-Luxemburg Strasse 2, one of five fine retail shops celebrating Berlin’s creative community through this three-week event.

Anna Adam, freelance artist and stage designer residing in Berlin, constructed this Kolo book representing Berlin’s history versus her new vision of the city today. This work is currently on display in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition. Anna chose to construct her work using two disassembled Kolo Newport photo albums, in sage and red. She took both of the covers off and reassembled them, constructing one book. She then cut a frame shape into the entire book, leaving a stage that can be viewed from both sides. She chose to combine different themes all displayed on the one stage seen from either side.
The sage side represents “old” Berlin, from 1945 until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. This side includes topics such as, “Rosinenbomber” (planes during the 1948 airlift), East-Berliners longing to travel and the “currywurst” (a type of Berlin sausage).
Anna’s art is exhibited in numerous museums and galleries throughout Europe. This work can be found at Hauptsache, Rosenthaler Strasse 32, one of five fine retailers celebrating the creative community through this event.

Ben Wheeler, Texas may not appear on many travel guides, but that’s part of its draw. Once a fading town, it has been reimagined by artists and locals who turned vacant storefronts into gathering spots, music venues, and shops. Walking its streets reveals a blend of rustic remnants and new creative life—murals, vintage signage, and weathered buildings alongside places buzzing with activity. This album captures the layers of a community that feels both timeless and renewed: a place where history lingers, creativity thrives, and small-town Texas spirit shows itself in unexpected ways.

Artist Suzy Van Zehlendorf, born in 1980 in the working district of Berlin-Wedding, chose a Kolo Newport photo album to create this work. Suzy faced some difficult challenges growing up, but Suzy always knew she was an artist. It took time for others to notice her artistic talent. Today, she has been named one of Germany’s most influential mentally challenged artists.
Suzy on her work displayed in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition:
"For Kolo, I looked at Berlin from a historic perspective; the planes that flew food into Berlin during the 1948 airlift, Marx and Engels, and Nefertiti, whose bust recently was relocated to the New Museum in Berlin. The poultry, of course, are the people, the masses of people living in Berlin. It's like one big chicken coop. That is my perspective of Berlin."

Artist Eugen Buchner has two Berlin-themed Kolo books now on display in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition. The album duo, collectively named “Berliner Sehenswürdigkeiten” (Berlin Sights), artfully expresses his vision of the city.
Eugen used both a chartreuse Kolo Luxury Cortina and a red Kolo Vineyard to display his delicate ink drawings. The drawing titled “Ku-Damm” shows Kurfürstendamm, the main boulevard of West Berlin, and two of the city’s sights. He included Gedächtniskirche, a church located on the street, and “Berlin,” a sculpture that was constructed in 1987 symbolizing the division of West Berlin and East Berlin.
Eugen Buchner, originally from Nizhny Tagil, Russia, now resides in the city of Berlin and is currently working in light design and new media art. He studied interior and fashion design at multiple schools throughout Russia and Germany.
Eugen incorporates intricate patterns, as seen in his Berlin drawings, into his interior design work. He has had his artwork distributed internationally, including in the United States. In 2008 he was selected for the Americas Biennial Exhibition and Archive.
The “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition is a free three-week walking tour celebrating the city’s creative community. If you are in Berlin before November 30th be sure check out each diverse interpretation of the city displayed throughout five fine retail shops.

CreativeMornings theme for May was VIBRANT.
When was the last time you experienced something that made you feel more alive? Heard a melody pulsing with a beat that made your body move. Taken in the view of a lush landscape or sparkling city skyline bursting with light and shadows. Locked eyes with a striking stranger. Poured yourself into prose that crackles off the page with electricity. Lost track of time in a conversation punctuated by spirited laughter. Stopped in your tracks in front of a canvas in a museum or a mural on the street with colors so bold and bright it popped from the paint straight into your synapses.
It might not happen every day. But you can live a life full of energy and enthusiasm. You can strive to bring brightness into every interaction.
Because our world is full of all kinds of vibrant masterpieces. And you are one of them.
