Traversing the streets of Berlin’s divergent neighborhoods, publisher Jeanne-Salomé Rochat is captured in a photographic diary by Maxime Ballesteros. Originally from Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2006 Rochat created the cult magazine Sang Bleu with tattoo artist Maxime Büchi, which published its latest issue at the end of 2012. Since then, Rochat’s eye has been sharply focused on Swiss fashion publication Novembre, multidisciplinary Sang Bleu ‘laboratories’ in Berlin and London and a fashion collaboration exploring science and design with collaborator including the Cottweiler label and makeup artist, Isamaya Ffrench. “The blue wall in the parking lot of her studio in Kreuzberg reminded me of a pool, so I asked her to put her swimming gear on,” says Ballesteros of the day’s activities which included a journey on the U-Bahn and an exploration of a Neükolln marble yard. “With Sang Bleu, there’s a history of how subjects that we were interested in intellectually became experiences and a reality,” says Rochat, crediting photographer Sven Marquardt, the notorious tattooed face of Berlin’s renowned nightclub Berghain, for unlocking the city’s underground for her. “So in my own biography, Berlin is important.”
