Taxonomic Study of Vans in Berlin
Collecting the Urban Butterfly: This turned into a daily practice while I walked the streets of my neighborhood at the time: Friedrichshain, Berlin. Over the course of a year I had collected more than 400 distinct specimens. The vans or LKW as they call them in Germany, serve a different purpose to each owner. It could be used for work, to live in or camp in, for travel, for transport (moving), etc. Every weekend the streets around the Flohmarkt (or Flea Market) were packed with vans of different sizes, makes, and models that had been spray-painted, modified and rejiggered to suit the owners needs and wants. It became like a hunt when I went out to find ones I had not already captured with my camera.
