Lost places - part one

Berlin, 12.07.09

leo (www.pompinon.de) calls me and informs me about a relatively new "lost place" in town:  the former "bärenpils"-brewery. we have visited some lost places before, but this one holds views as if the brewery had been left just a few weeks ago. tons of paper, test beer bottles in a laboratory, waste cellars, bureaus and great industrial architecture make this place so special. we spend about 5 hours climbing stairs, making pictures, reading personal correspondence between employers and their employées. when we leave, we are exhausted and hungry but we haven`t seen all the rooms yet.

security didn`t show off. we were pretty much alone with some other picture-hunters and a bunch of sprayers.
