Berlin-Kreuzberg, Wrangelkiez. Hier sitzt Chris Rehbergers Agentur “Double Standards”. Kaum betritt man die erst kürzlich bezogenen Räumlichkeiten, scheint es so, als durchschreite man die Pforte zu einer anderen Welt. Man reibt sich kurz die Augen, denn der Kontrast zwischen Kiez vor der Tür und der Welt dahinter ist sich kaum größer vorzustellen. Hier die klassische
