Germany photo diary II


(if you haven't read my previous Germany photo diary post, scroll down a bit!)

The fun part about Documenta is that the exhibition takes place on different locations. Just like the Orangerie (the building in the back), with the beautiful garden in front of it.

This house is called "the Huguenot House".
It stood empty since the 1970s. Artist Theaster Gates wanted to inject life into the abandoned house: his plan was to make the forgotten house useful again. A team of artists are restoring and reactivating the place. If you want to know more about this amazing project, you should definitely google and/or follow their daily report on their tumblr.


I always like the atmosphere of abandoned buildings, so discovering this house was like a little paradise to me.


Another beautiful place was an old factory hall near the railway station. I realized how much I would love to live in such open space. (a loft in a big city = big dream)

Beautiful building in Kassel
