This collage presents a unique combination of historical, cultural and architectural elements that illustrate various aspects of Berlin life and its history:
Sunflower Tower Blocks (Marzahn): These colourfully designed residential buildings reflect the creative and life-affirming side of Berlin. They lend a unique, artistic touch to the Marzahn district, which is otherwise characterised by prefabricated buildings.
Teufelsberg listening station: Once a spy station during the Cold War, it now symbolises Berlin's complex history and its role in global geopolitics. It symbolises both secrets and overcoming the past.
Other high-rise buildings from Marzahn: These represent the typical architecture of East Berlin during the GDR era and tell of the living conditions and social history of this era.
Parts of the Holocaust memorial: These replicas of stelae bring Germany's difficult and profound history to life, they remind us of the horrors of the Holocaust and call for reflection and remembrance.
Overall, the collage combines history with the present and art with everyday life to paint a multi-layered picture of Berlin. It invites viewers to reflect on the different eras and events that have shaped the city.
