May Day demonstration, Berlin 2009 - image: Michel Meijer

People can’t live without other people. We are with each other, we observe each other, we love each other and we hate each other. That’s why ohoh.store is paying homage to people by offering twelve postcards featuring images of people at the very affordable price of €0.60.

Every year on 1 May, the Revolutionary 1 May demonstration takes place in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin. This tradition dates back to the late 1980s. The demonstration, which consists mainly of people with left-wing political views, is accompanied by large numbers of police riot units. For several years, the demonstration ended in violent clashes between the police and demonstrators.

With photographs of landscapes, cityscapes and people, Michel Meijer tells stories about religious devotion and human activities in their own living environment.

Water fight between Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg on the Oberbaumbrücke in Berlin, 2003. - image: Christian Hetey

People can’t live without other people. We (yes, I’m a human too) are with each other, we observe each other, we love each other and we hate each other. That’s why ohoh.store is paying homage to people by offering twelve postcards featuring images of people at the very affordable price of €0.60.

The water battle, vegetable battle or bridge battle was held annually in the summer on the Oberbaumbrücke and was a contest between the residents of Friedrichshain on one side and the residents of Kreuzberg on the other. The party that managed to drive the other party off the bridge onto their own side was declared the winner. An important rule was that participants were only allowed to spray each other with water and throw soft and/or slimy objects, such as vegetables, fruit and eggs. Hard and heavy objects that could injure people were not permitted. The reason for the annual battle was the administrative merger of the districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg in 2001. The Oberbaumbrücke connects the two districts and spans the River Spree, which forms the boundary there. The last water battle was held in 2013.

Christian Hetey has moved a lot among the political left-wing subculture in Berlin. These, usually younger, people organize: peoples kitchens, concerts, information evenings, theater, demonstrations and much more. Christian was able to experience and photograph how left-wing people live and where they meet. Several of these photos have appeared on postcards.
