Berlin's art galleries are closed, but the art scene rose to the occasion when around 30 artists joined a community exhibition from their balconies.

"While our freedom of mobility is on hold, (balconies) become unique sites of everyday performance," organisers said as they launched the project in the trendy Prenzlauer Berg district of east Berlin in Germany last week.
