I wanted to focus on a space in Berlin where I and people like me really feel at home. I started taking pictures in a friend's apartment. He is one of those guys who records music on old four track machines and buys cheap instruments on ebay, like plastic keyboards or toy instruments for kids. He still uses an old Amiga to program beats on and -of course - has some old video games, like the old NES (including the zapper), Game Boy classic or Sega master system. I soon realized that this passion for odd cheap machines is not a specific Berlin phenomenon. There is a worldwide interest. I began building paper replicas in original size of some objects I had previously photographed in my friend's apartment.
