SUMMER DIARIES.
THE 'BERLIN BRAVES Summer Diary' is a visual scrapbook series by visual artist Violette Esmeralda AND creative director Joey W. Elgersma.
CHAPTER 1: HOMIES HALF.
Chapter one covers the Braves’ 5 Year Anniversary weekend during the Berlin Half Marathon - a series of events bridging the gap between music, sports, fashion and lifestyle. The episode is an intimate exploration of the way people from diverse backgrounds connect over like-mindedness. It is not only a showcase of international youth brightening up the city but also a reflection of aspirations, personal struggles and overcoming obstacles.
CHAPTER 2: LOVE & BASKETBALL
The second chapter of the series is about LOVE & BASKETBALL which was filmed during our 1x1 tournament.
The players touch subjects of togetherness while competing, trying to find that connection between love and basketball.
The episode is a mellow exploration of individual conceptualisations of love with a hidden bonus track of Kana & Mavie.
CHAPTER 3: PIGALLE
Chapter three of the series revolves around Paris Fashion Week.
It is an exploration of the many facets within the city's landscape and its communities.
From artistic creations to the mere bonding of individuals, it is a visual record of experience –
a dedication to past and present Parisian culture through the works of Jean-Luc Godard and Stéphane Ashpool.
