To Berlin, again, and ex-pat visual artists Hue Hale who we’ve featured before (In The Frame, 167). and George Murray. “Zu Verschenken means ‘To give away / to be given away’. This phrase is usually found written on a box of unwanted items placed on the streets of Berlin. Myself and Murray were driven by the monotony of the pandemic to come together and create something meaningful out of these unused items. After gathering up everything the items were used to make the designs of the featured clothes, used as props that the model is standing on, etc. Everything used in this collaboration was either sourced from the street or borrowed, and was shot in a makeshift home studio. The themes of Zu Verschenken were influenced by escapism, sustainability, queer culture and the clubbing culture of Berlin.”
