Grenzen Kerzen 2004

Where was the wall anyway? The one feature that shaped Berlin more than any other, has all but disappeared from the face of Berlin. The wall is a tragedy that must not be forgotten, and yet it is already almost impossible to re-imagine. Practically a symbol for Berlin, and graphic evidence of the second German dictatorship, yet today it is difficult to find even a trace of where the wall once stood. The Berlin Wall is also a potential source of hope for people all over the world#who face similar divisions now, and for those facing ideological divides as effective as any fortified wall To provide a space to reflect upon the fall of the wall and consider peoples everywhere who live restricted lives and hope for a similar turn of events, thousands of people took part in writing, lighting, and setting Grenzen Kerzen where the wall used to be.
