I just want a new tripod

As I walked out of the studio building and onto the street, I noticed a man grappling with a large American flag whilst in a phone box. Another man held the phone box door open, whilst another filmed proceedings with a small dv camera. A woman was crouched down close to the guy with the camera, watching and commenting. As soon as I passed them they folded up the flag and walked away.

Finding video equipment here is proving harder than I thought.
“Well if you don’t stock it, could you recommend somewhere that does?”
“Where? In Berlin? No!”

The Art Fairs have moved here for this week and the openings begin this Wednesday. After checking out Preview Art Fair’s website it was confirmed that this blog is post zeitgeist. On the front page is an excerpt from a documentary film from 2007 which is also called "Berlin – arm aber sexy".

This 1 min 27 second piece shows a series of speeded up beautifully controlled tracking and panning shots of Preview’s Preview 2007. These are followed by some real-time static and crane shots which include details of some art works, shots of people looking unnerved by being filmed and a young child in it’s buggie. The sound track accompanying these images is an electronic piece that repeats the vocal sample “love, love, yeah”.
