SIGHTSEEING BERLIN is 184-paged
publication by painter and mixed-media
artist Simon Ostaschenko.
The book features several places which
have been revisited to document their
status after being repainted by the same
writers over and over again.
But on his strolls through Berlin
Ostaschenko did also document a variety
of places and sites like backyards, bridges,
trucks, train lines, or street spots
on which a circle of writers left their
marks in between 2012 and 2023.
Unlike the titles suggests his walks rarely
lead him along typical Berlin attractions
they were rather personal sights he looked
up regularly over a decade.
The photographic tour is accompanied by
seven personal stories by him and a poem
by Kevin Gray.
SIGHTSEING BERLIN is limited to 200
copies and was released in 2024.
Each copy is individually stamped and
hand numbered by the editor.
