About the artwork

In the digital artwork *Wir sind Berliner*, a hushed, cinematic snapshot of a car journey towards Berlin unfolds, caught in the evocative glow of a sunlit day. The sky is bright blue, cloudless - a rare bright canvas that serves as a backdrop for a scene full of subtle details and stories.

We watch from the back of a posh car, presumably an Audi, in which two men are visible: the driver on the left, in a tough leather jacket, his hand firmly on the steering wheel with the Audi logo; on the right sits a passenger wearing a casual green shirt and jeans. Their faces are only partially visible - just enough to suggest human presence, but without full identification.

The rear-view mirror adds a third dimension: in it we see a third passenger, like a shadow in the background. To its right hangs a sun visor with the word "AIRBAG", and under the mirror dangles a small, childlike toy animal - a contrast to the adult interior.

In the dashboard, minute details emerge: the odometer, the navigation system perhaps pointing in the direction of Berlin, a clock indicating five to nine, the air conditioning set at 21 degrees, and a modern audio system.

A grey motorway stretches out in front of the windscreen, with three oncoming cars half visible above a central reservation on the left. Above them are vegetation and road signs - signs of movement and destination. A quiet image of being on the road, full of meaning.
