Why capture the world, as it is, when everybody can? The art of Lomography is the art of seeing the world, as it is not. This shop, found next to the U–Bahnstop XX, is a cool hang–out, art gallery and camera shop, all in one. Why not buy a Coloursplash Camera, which turns the world into dreamy pastel colours, a Camera Fusion Split Cam which divides your picture into different frames, or one of the more popular Holga Cameras that gives your photos a more old–school feeling. The retro cameras are to be found around the neck of every Iphone bored hipster of the area, but this doesn’t stimulate its trendiness – every picture is new and inspiring – even though when you get the roll back it might not turn out as expected. If this is too risky then buy a new lens for your digital camera that makes the pictures look old, cool and blurry. Workshops are held continuously in this shop, where you’ll learn to appreciate a more analogue lifestyle; the wild life of a Lomographer.
