NACHTS, which is German for "at night", is a photographic journey through Berlin's nocturnal world, with all its edges, eccentricities, and human moments. Shot entirely in black and white, the series captures the emotional texture of the clubbing scene: fleeting gestures, shared rituals, and quiet introspection against a backdrop of music and movement. Fanghaenel's work offers a rare, nuanced portrait of a subculture that is often misrepresented and overlooked.
