“If walls could talk…” This was the topic of the call for submissions for a giant new mural in Berlin that initiated the creation of 396 designs from almost 60 countries around the world. Talenthouse Kreativplattform chose out of the innovative and highly diverse submitted material the work of Marcus Haas and turned it into a mural with the help of the art group Xi-Design and the artists Size Two and Mario Mankey. The mural depicts a chunk of meat being cut in two by a knife engraved with the phrase “Berlin 1961-1989¨. It, thus, tells Berlin’s most defining story. Marcus Haas clarifies that the division of the meat into two parts refers to the division of the city into East and West Berlin from the emergence of the wall in 1961 through its fall in 1989. Taking a closer look one will be able to notice the different districts of the city vaguely drafted on the meat. You will find the mural opposite the Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Straße for a limited duration of 3 months.
When is this painting going to be removed. The blog indicates 3 months, but not start and stop dates. We are trying to use these blogs to see interesting places in Berlin, but the absence of dates on the blogs in some cases makes it difficult to know what is currently available.
Hey ihr Lieben,
das “Grafitti” ist wahnsinnig toll, ich wollte es auch schon für meinen Blog fotografieren. Schade dass es nur für 3 Monate ist. Jetzt muss ich mich wohl beeilen, smile…
Ach und mal etwas anderes, würdet ihr meinen Fashion & Lifestyleblog auch verlinken, falls er euch gefällt? Ich würde mich riesig freuen. Habt noch einen schönen Tag.
Liebe Grüße,
Mo Warns
