The on-going gentrification of Berlin takes a strange turn in this striking interpretation by artist/architect/designer Riccardo Torresi for “Ganz Berlin” from German electro-artist Diego Parravano, aka Copycat Club.
“The video describes a dystopic reality where Berlin is swallowed by a giant pink blob, symbol for the massive changing and urbanization the city is experiencing.
“The video, like the entire Copycat Club’s album, is a representation of the German capital seen in the light of its unstoppable growth. The main character is an emblem of passivity and defencelessness facing a way bigger opponent.”
