Stefan Mehren

Stefan Mehren was enrolled in the Catholic School Liebfrauen in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1968 and was taught there by nuns and secular teachers.
"I had the sex education class with a nun, Sister Juliane, who stood in front of the class with a red face and had the students pronounce what she did not even get over her lips."

Strong childhood pictures from the street remain in his memory. For example, the coal carriers with the pannier on the back. Men hitting big hooks into blocks of ice. Horse-drawn carriage with beer kegs ...
He quickly discovered the football field in his surroundings, which was to become his second home. And then later the Olympic Stadium.

"My Club Hertha BSC has never won an important title since I was born, the last one was in 1931. There they became German Champion and my father was barely 4 years old. Now my dad is 96 and he would like to have a title from Hertha celebrate ... can still be. "

In between: the turn. And the acquisition of a camera.

Photography has become a passion. Especially Berlin as a motif. He is interested in the changes in Berlin. The eternally unfinished, the ugly. He picks up the camera, gets on his bike and lets himself drift.
"I rarely know where it drives me in. The aimless, the purposeless fascinate me. I am a flaneur, an observer in my own city." For me photography is like a meditation ... states of becoming and offense. "

Three years ago, he took a video camera for the first time. For several months he turns documentary on the grounds of the old Schultheiss brewery in Berlin Moabit. The movie is on average.

"Go right ahead!"
