Thomas Azier

When I think about it, I really remember more gloomy days and more darkness than light in Berlin. It’s a pity on the one hand, but on the other it’s a thriving environment for all those moody artists who find their creative fuel in the overcast skies over Berlin. Here’s maybe the best proof for my theory. His name is
