Artist Julia Antonia and writer/poet Chetan Akhil worked together to create this beautiful Kolo book now on display in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition. They chose a red Kolo Newport to display their work, “Letter to Snow-Woman.” The fairy tale book is brilliantly illustrated by Julia and narrated with the haikus written by Chetan.

Along with their contribution, they added a small book using a Kolo Essex Insert expressing their interpretation of the big city. The haiku, written by Chetan, is translated to say, “Haiku. The small in the big. The big in the small. Times and tides. Big city code.”

Both Julia and Chetan are celebrated artists in the creative community. Julia studied at Berlin University of the Arts and was distinguished with an assortment of awards and scholarships. Chetan’s TV production “Nicht wunschlos werden” (“Not to Be Perfectly Happy”) won the prestigious German Journalist Award in 1996.

Julia Antonia and Chetan Akhil’s works are on display at Aarven at Rosa-Luxemburg Strasse 2, one of five fine retail shops celebrating Berlin’s creative community through this three-week event.
