A young man roving through Berlin by night: hip bars, unofficial parties, dark streets... What he sees, he captures with his mobile phone. While in some cases such pictures can achieve an astonishing quality today, Sebastian Klug has deliberately chosen to go for a grainy aesthetic. The high degree of image noise and extreme colour contrasts communicate in an idiom of their own. The pictures reflect situations as if captured en passant, in a way that corresponds to the nature of perception fleeting, unfocused, blurred. The viewer too is caught up in a white noise of gleaming colours and shadowy schemata. Klug understands his role as being that of a photographer, but at the same time he is a part of what is happening. Like his protagonists, he is seized by the drunkenness of the moment, the exceptional nocturnal ambiance, the longing for dissolution into a thousand pixels. He shows people and scenes without distance and very directly. The results, though, are astonishingly picturesque, atmospherically concentrated and sometimes almost allegorical.
