I mentioned street art in a previous post. Here is a project created to celebrate the fall of the Berlin wall.
Throughout Berlin ‘Go beyond borders’ tape (40 km were produced!) marked the original position of the Berlin Wall. In some cases the wall line would go through Hotels, Offices and restaurants that were built after the fall.
Furthermore eight Tape Art installations were made across Berlin to tell the stories of people who went beyond the most notorious border of our times. Exactly where they happened.
Go here for more information on the project, e.g a googlemap to make your own walking tour of the remaining installations plus archive photo and video material of the stories.
German and American forces cooperated on this project – street artist El Bocho (really cool guy! – check website) and CNN International
You can still see the art at some locations around Berlin:
- Bar in Neukölln ( forever )
- S-Bahnhof Potsdamer platz, two spots (Till Jan 1st, 2010)
- Marriott Hotel (1 more week)
- Zimmerstrasse Tunnels (1 more week)
