BEAUTY & DECAY showcases the photographic journey of Sven Marquardt whose analog black-and-white photos have captured decades of Berlin’s underground culture. On display are early works from the 1980s in East Berlin to the bouncer and musician portraits from 2010-24 besides many more. In this show Marquardt’s photographic work is also interpreted through visual art by Tavy Hornbrook.
The people portrayed by Sven Marquardt are not chosen randomly, but are carefully selected from the artist’s circle of friends, colleagues and acquaintances.
