A different style for each of the six floors in the back stairway of architect Gerhardt's wacky house in Kreuzberg. From Greek on the ground floor up to graffiti in the penthouse with fake posters, wallpaper, Bau-haus and trompe l'oeil inbetween. It all took much too long as usual, even with Freda's professional assistance. Gerhardt threw in some real elements; a couple of tin motoring signs (below), a plaster bust, and an obscure wooden electrical cabinet which might have housed an emergency telephone for elderly breakdowns half way to the top.
The family on the fith floor loved their plants and animals - the nice lady told me so - but nobody ever mentioned the graffiti in the attic.
