After the Wall
More than three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, its traces remain scattered throughout the city.
My project looks at how these traces appear today, observing how people move around them, interact with them and give them meaning, consciously or not. A fragment can be a memorial, a tourist attraction, a surface to write or draw on, or simply an object one passes by as part of an everyday routine. I am interested in the tension between the historical weight of the Wall and its ordinary presence in the city, and in what happens to a strong historical symbol when it becomes part of everyday life.
