This tour will weave through the neighborhoods of Berlin, leading us past the anonymous urban façade into a series of private worlds and unexpected encounters. We will visit a number of people in their apartments, and voyeuristically move through their kitchens, living rooms or work studios... Occasionally, we will join in on the activities taking place at the time of our visit. We may listen to someone read from the book by their bed, share a piece of the lemon cake they baked earlier that morning or accompany them to the grocery store; experiencing the city via the intimate and mundane daily routines of its inhabitants.

Diese Tour streift durch die Stadtteile von Berlin und führt an der anonymen urbanen Fassade vorbei, hinein in eine Reihe von privaten Welten und unerwarteten Begegnungen. Wir werden eine Reihe von Menschen in ihren Wohnungen besuchen und mit voyeuristischem Blick durch ihre Küchen, Wohn- oder Arbeitszimmer laufen... Manchmal werden wir Teil der Aktivitäten, die zum Zeitpunkt unseres Besuches stattfinden. Wir werden vielleicht jemandem aus seinem Buch im Bett beim Lesen zuhören, ein Stück von dem Zitronenkuchen essen, der am Morgen gebacken wurde oder jemanden beim Einkaufen begleiten - und auf diese Weise die Stadt durch den vertrauten und profanen Alltag ihrer Bewohner erleben.

A day in the life of... is organized by Alkistis Thomidou, Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga, Martin Michette and Tinatin Gurgenidze. After completing their studies in architecture, each one of them eventually made his or her way to Berlin where they keep walking these days. The tours are organized with the help of several people that have generously agreed to open their door to us on a certain day.
