Peter Berlin (1942-)


To me Berlin is a performance artist or a walking work of art. 
The thing that truly made me like him was the commentary track to his re-released film 'That Boy'. The things he talked about and the way he presented them were fantastic.

Sadly not much has been written about Droste. 
Mel Gordon does however dedicate a chapter of the book 'The Seven Addictions and Five Professions Of Anita Berber' to Sebastian, shedding light on his youth as well as his escapades in America.
