Come in!
Your first time?
Feel free to ask about the opening hours. The darkroom is open only irregularly. You can reach me via contact form, Instagram or mail.
You have been here before?
For those who want to work independently, a key will be given after the first visit, so there is access at any time. Completely flexible, without restrictions. Be sure to bring an ID document for the key handover.

Darkroom Fiasko is intended as a low-threshold offer for artists and photographers.
So if you're broke, you don't have to give up art; here you can also work without a budget.
Ideally, you should bring your own consumables. Paper and chemistry from the darkroom can also be used/shared.
If you can afford it, the darkroom will be happy about a donation! Somehow the rent has to be paid.
For orientation:
Comparable darkrooms in Berlin
charge 6 € to 18 € per hour without chemistry and paper.
I recommend a donation of 30 € per day for normal
earners (3200€ gross/month).
