Facing a changed environment compared to the 1990s, when space was cheap and the contemporary art scene less exposed, the artists discuss what freedom and creativity signify in Berlin in 2017. The team surrounding Kira Bunse travels to the German capital to visit the artists at their studios – hidden sanctuaries of freedom in the city centre or isolated spaces in remote locations. As the artists themselves lend their unique touch to the photographs, the portrait series is almost turned into an artwork itself.
