Berlin Wall hosts giant portraits of world’s barriers – Ahram Online
Giant portraits of the world’s most tense borders went on display Tuesday on the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall, in what organisers called a protest underlining the futility of barriers to resolve conflict.
The “Wall on Wall” project by German photographer Kai Wiedenhoefer features 36 panoramas taken in Northern Ireland, Iraq, Cyprus, the West Bank, Morocco, North and South Korea and the border zone between the United States and Mexico. The colour prints have been glued along 364 metres (yards) of the Berlin Wall, which divided the German city for 28 years until it was toppled in a bloodless revolution in 1989.
