Garden (Mauerstreifen / Wall Area)
Installation, Berlin Gropius Stadt, white pebbles, ruderal plants, 2005
Part of "Hausbau 05", 1st International Week for Informal Building, organized by Folke Köbberling and Martin Kaltwasser, in cooperation with the Architecture Department of the TU Berlin
Cut out of the ruderal plants on the former wall area (death zone) near Berlin Gropius Stadt. The zone was kept free of vegetation with special plant poison. The wall divided Berlin until 1989.15 years later one could find first plants. Like in the japanese tradition we created a garden with small white pebbles.
