Kodak Aerochrome x Neukölln: A Cinematic Daydream

What if Neukölln wasn’t Neukölln at all? Kodak Aerochrome turns Berlin’s most eclectic district into something out of a dream—a place where the trees burn crimson, the sky stays impossibly blue, and even the graffiti seems to pop like a lost frame from a forgotten 1970s sci-fi film. This is Neukölln as you’ve never seen it: infrared, cinematic, and brimming with strange beauty. The iconic film stock, once designed for military reconnaissance, now reveals an urban jungle that’s both familiar and alien.

From the canals reflecting surreal landscapes to the graffiti that seems to glow against the lush red foliage, this series captures a Berlin that could exist in another dimension. Every frame is a love letter to Aerochrome’s legendary ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Is this Berlin? Or have we stepped into a parallel world?
