The artwork 'O.T' by Sven Marquardt is a print on PVC crafted in 2016. 

Born in East Berlin in 1962, Sven Marquardt was a formative part of the emerging Punk, New Wave and artists' scenes of Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg from the mid 1980s. When the Berlin Wall came down, he took an out-time from photography and immersed himself in Berlin's newly developing club scene. Since the late 1990s, with his job as a doorman for the club Ostgut, he has been fascinated with the theme of ‘night.’ After working as a doorman at the legendary Ostgut club, Sven went on to become the nightlife icon when Berghain opened in 2004. Inspired by the cultural atmosphere of Berlin, Sven returned to photography in the late 1990s with his exhibitions traveling the world.

Since 2015 Sven Marquardt showed his photographic work in various exhibitions across the globe. Marquardt’s work combines formal severity and clear imagery with bleak impermanence, impresses through interaction of ease, severity and the dramatic art of monochrome contrasting. The ever-changing metropolis of Berlin has shaped Marquardt’s sensibility for striking characters, his sense for the unusual in humanity and his artistic subject.
