Line Up

Line Up is a tribute to the Berlin techno crowd and all the DJs, fellows and night crawlers over the last three decades who made this melting pot internationally known and beloved for finest techno culture.

For more than 20 years photographer Sebastian Pielles roamed through Berlin’s nightlife and the constantly changing techno culture of the city he was born and grew up in. Seven years ago, he started to motivate the big players of the scene to become part of his idea – a collection of portraits. Since then Pielles has been able to take more than 100 pictures of renowned artists beyond their natural environment – the DJ desk – staged in movements. Pielles’ photographs allows a unique view of people like Westbam, Tiefschwarz, DirtyDoering, Ellen Alien and many others.
