Berlin Night After Glow

An intimate portrait project of Berlin's iconic club culture

Berlin Night After Glow is Chris Noltekuhlmann's tribute to the beating heart of Berlin’s legendary nightlife. For over two years, Noltekuhlmann opened the doors of his studio to dancers, DJs, artists, and clubbers emerging from long nights of techno-fueled escapism. This project is more than a photo series—it’s a cultural document that captures the raw, unfiltered spirit of Berlin’s club scene, where personal freedom, expression, and identity converge on the dance floor.

From fetish-inspired outfits and latex to eclectic vintage, avant-garde, and streetwear that transcends gender norms, the portraits reveal Berlin’s club culture as a space where fashion becomes political, emotional, and deeply personal. With each image, Noltekuhlmann explores how individuals craft their own visual narratives and embracing self-determined identities.

Set against the backdrop of Berlin’s historical legacy—once a divided city, now a global epicenter of creative freedom—the book is a testament to the city’s enduring role as a sanctuary for outsiders, visionaries, and rebels. Dancing in Berlin isn’t just entertainment; it’s a ritual, a collective release, a form of resistance, and a profound celebration of life.

The book features over 200 portraits, accompanied by essays, interviews, and written by Cassidy George that contextualize the series within Berlin’s cultural landscape. Collaborations with Berlin-based, club insiders, and cultural commentators provide additional layers, offering insights into the significance of the club scene beyond its surface glamour—touching on topics such as mental health, political activism, queer identity, and the transformative power of nightlife.
