SVEN MARQUARDT exudes stoic creativity, describing Berghain as a 'place of diversity, freedom, and anarchy,' SVEN delves into the historical context of Berlin's notorious club scene alongside his lifelong passion for photography. Having grown up within the GDR, SVEN delves into the deep inspirations that drive him: from hearing Freddie Mercury's voice for the first time to the static beauty of silence on one of his shoots. Impossible to mistake the iconoclastic power of Berlin nightlife as THE countercultural institution of the past two decades, he reiterates the importance of spaces where true expression can thrive into the crack of dawn. Aside from his infamy as being the world's most recognizable Bouncer, MARQUARDT's love of music, film, and fashion are integral to understanding the full spectrum of his personality, combined with a refined taste of all the latter you won't want to miss.
