Freerunners tackle berlin’s abandoned buildings

What do you do with an empty building? The years have seen a variety of uses for vacant properties, from drug farms in Las Vegas to stunning works of art in South D.C. Berlin, though, has beaten them all, as freerunners make their way through the structures to make a stunning music video.

Titled Holi Sh*t, the footage follows a team of freerunners, geared up with a bunch of “toys”, who move through the vacant suburbs of the German capital city in slow-motion

“During their three days journey, the freerunners and camera crew got lost more than once on the endless highways outside of Berlin Brandenburg,” write the makers of the video on Vimeo.

“We also realized that the most interesting abandoned places are not only well concealed, but are well guarded by security and police. Ignoring those signs of warning the next days were packed with thrilling moments of spectacular runs and tricks but also, getting chased by ghost hunters at midnight, and getting arrested by the police while shooting a drone shot with smoke grenades on top of the tallest building in the area. Obviously not a good idea!”

“Chasing those abandoned buildings and feeling the calmness of a place once filled with so much life was truly inspirational.”
