PORTRAIT OF BERLIN

Ich bin ein Berliner! #portraitofberlin

May 24, 2016 by

A collection of the over 70 unique portraits, taken at the live event, has now been arranged by Rankin and KaDeWe into a visually striking artwork, exhibited along a 5m high and 110m long street level gallery from middle of May until end of June.

For the opening of the “Portrait of Berlin” street gallery on Monday, May 23rd, the KaDeWe invited the displayed Berliners for a small get-together. A special moment to all of us – spectators as well as exhibited portraits. It’s been a real pleasure to see the originals next to their large-scale photo.

What happend?

More than two weeks have passed but it still feels like yesterday. While excitement is growing for the unveiling of the 110m long street gallery, here a nice little video from the event to keep you going #portraitofberlin #RankinLive #KaDeWe

“It’s been a brilliant day. KaDeWe has given me an extraordinary platform for my work. They say a department store should be the spirit of a city. Berlin is an ever changing city so I wanted to get a snapshot of this particular moment; a kind of living history. This is the biggest Rankin Live I’ve ever done. Thanks to the spirit of Berlin it’s also been the most fun.” Rankin

A different #PortraitOfBerlin – straight out of the selfie-booth

May 3, 2016 by

In addition to our big live photo shoot with star-photographer Rankin last Saturday, dedicated viewing areas with exclusive selfie-booths were set up to allow a wider audience to participate in the event.

Many Berliners made use of this occasion and had some fun taking series after series of photos! The outcome is a fascinating gallery – a slightly different #portraitofberlin. Watching these photostrips was so much fun that we wanted to share a first impression with you. There are so many great photos!

Drums…a very exciting moment for us here – there you go – our 10 last portraits that will be selected prior to the big event on Saturday! We’ve really enjoyed to see all the fantastic pictures growing an amazing #portraitofberlin on social media over the past weeks. We’d wish this wouldn’t need to come to an end.

With a little luck you’ll also have the chance to be photographed by Rankin himself. Swing by to experience one of the biggest photo shoots in Germany! #RankinLive #KaDeWe #Berlin
