This short film (6:31 min) engages critically with the “East Side Gallery” in Berlin. By designing a performative walk with two cameras (1 mobile phone and 1 action camera in reverse modes) it sheds light on the site’s unique history. Stretching 1,316 metres along the Spree River, it is the longest remaining section of the Berlin Wall. Following its fall on 9 November 1989, artists from 21 countries transformed it into an open-air art gallery. The gallery features over 100 paintings symbolising freedom and political change. However, over the past ten years, the East Side Gallery has undergone significant gentrification, with the area being transformed into a place dominated by tech companies such as Amazon and Google.

Dates: July 2024, produced in the context of the workshop Visualising Territorial Digitalisation at the UDK (Universität der Künste) Berlin.
