The idea is to create on the 9th november 2009, a line of people that will recreate the berlin wall with their physical presence, that would last for approximately 30 minutes.
The berlin wall project is about creating a " temporary monument of reflection".
For the 20 years anniversary we will rebuild the berlin wall, not from steel and concrete but with people.. to remember the 20 years when berlin became one again...
47000 people are forming a human chain that will make its way on the 9th november around 8 . 15pm a chain exactly where the originally wall stood.
This way hand in hand will be such a temporary moment for 20 minutes the historic separation of berlin, visable, feasable and with that understandable just to break apart after a short time.
By that will we create space for thinking together about separation and reunion... and show how a single person can move as part of a group..
470 people from different backgrounds will be gathered to each move and motivated another 100 people to work/ join with them.
For this there will be used as modern as well as traditional means of communication .. social networking platforms,, twitter myspace face book, chat forums.. sms. telephone.. press work.. pub talk (stamtisch) and mouth to mouth propaganda..
It is quite an ambitious project and i would need as much support from art instutions, schools, public institutions, great people as possible ..
Rather than being a twenty years memorial of walls fall, its is much more about the scale of the human imagination, achievement and involvement, and it that could be used for the positive rather than the negative actions..
and is a project that can attract people from all different walks of life, age, profession, and class.
The wall when it was created 20 years ago was one of the clearest man-made divisions of people of with different ideologies.
With mauer mob 09 project, the creation of the wall by people is more about saying that such divisions are no longer acceptable in todays society..
Its much more a rebellious statement of "borders were yesterday", than remembering the actual wall.
