Urban Habitat II–BERLIN 2013

Diego Ferrari, Lluis Oliver and Kingz of Kiez.

OKK gallery presents new photography and video documenting the work and music of Kingz of Kiez, a group of up-and-coming young rappers in Berlin. The iconographic and the everyday collide in the work of London-based fine art photographer Diego Ferrari. For this project Ferrari worked closely with these young people, taking them to iconic public places in Berlin. Together they develop a new expression, which challenges the usual clichés of rapper imagery and, by extension, migration, urban youth and disaffection. Through a playful and questioning approach, these images and video work compel the audience to rethink concepts of the inclusive multicultural city.

In partnership with: Puk a Malta - Kingz of Kiez, OKK Gallery Raum 29 and Kiez Kultur Netz – Berlin 2013.
