Lecture LS02
Berlin - The Wall Revisited. Search For Traces With My Sketchbook

Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Detlef set out with his sketchbook in search of traces on the former Wall strip and documented what he found there today. This lecture is a combination of personal and historical history and his reportage drawing project.

Through the drawings shown, he will give short anecdotes about West Berlin as an island, surrounded by the territory of East Germany. In his sketches, he aims to give an impression of the former situation, versus the joy of the present day where communities are growing together
