Immortalizing the famous friends: Berlin

Patricia Pisanelli (BRA)

 "I like the idea of a square comprising a circle and a group of small rectangles where people put their clothes in. 
I also like the idea of a person swimming in a purple, jelly-like liquid that could smell of flowers and sugar, 
which is just another photo on some product on the shelf of the off-license.
One thing emerges from another that relates to that other that had nothing to do with it."
