The exhibition highlights Marquardt's series capturing Berlin's club and subculture over the past 25 years. Included is a carefully selected work from 1987, providing a glimpse into the subculture of East Berlin.

Sven Marquardt, who took a break from photography after the fall of the Berlin Wall, returned to photography with his exhibitions that traveled around the world in the late 1990s.

Since 2015, Marquardt's photos have been shown in many cities, particularly in Berlin, Belgrade, Sydney and New York. He also collaborates with well-known fashion magazines and brands
