THE BERLIN WALL. Photographs by Diane Meyer
From 2012 onwards, the Los Angeles-based artist Diane Meyer (*1976) photographed places along the approximately 150-kilometer-long former course of the Berlin Wall, both in the city center and on the outskirts of the city. Today, hardly any traces of the Wall remain in the urban space.

The artist marks the absence of this massive structure in photographs by using cross-stitch to distort the surface that the Wall once covered. A blurred, "pixelated" visual trace is created.
It highlights the transience of memory and enables a subsequent understanding of the extent of the Wall in the urban structure.
