"Virtual Berlin Wall: View from the Bruno-Taut-Haus in East Berlin onto the Engelbecken Death Strip"
A central part of the artwork's project area is the Engelbecken Park at Michaelkirchplatz. During the time of the Wall it was filled in to form a huge Death Strip between the East Wall and the West Wall, but has now been restored to its former function as a park with water basin. The images in this series are renderings from „Virtuelle Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall“ showing views of the Engelbecken, not visible in the VR experience itself, that demonstrate the dramatic effects of the Wall on the urban space in Berlin.
