KINDERZIMMER
KINDERZIMMER is a book launch and exhibtion about a time before structure, before intention, before branding. It documents a formative period between 2017 and 2020—years that weren’t a phase, but a state of mind. Rather than nostalgia, the book operates as a foundation. Texts reflect on skateboarding as a medium, the city as a set, and movement as a form of thinking. Cologne becomes the backdrop: streets, curbs, spots, clubs, friendships, noise. There was no goal, no image, no tomorrow—only presence, intensity, and momentum.


The publication moves between personal memory and cultural reference: skate videos, music, film, nightlife, and youth culture collide without hierarchy. Influences range from skate cinema to raw filmmaking and music that wasn’t curated but lived—honest, loud, unfiltered. This book marks the conceptual origin of COLRS: not as a trend, not as a revival, but as the echo of an era that shaped how to move, work, and create.
