Just up ahead on the left, at Dernburgstraße. 11, is Ludwig Füllen's Parkside Gallery, Berlin.
You're free to check out the exhibition window later. We're, however, going to go right.

The former Atelier of artist and philosopher Balavat, Founder of what he called philosophical pop art. His work is described as supra avantgarde, fuzing image and text into what he describes as topographical records of consciousness, where he speaks of a mutation taking hold and moving us beyond postmodernism. His book “Seihende Nichts”, or in english “Being Nothingness”, refers to a state of consciousness where the nothingness is not a void but a substantial idea and source of cosmic creativity. After his death in 2019, his ideas are still talked about in the Berlin art world.
Continue down the steps towards the shore.
