Old Norman’s land − the large empty lot between East and West Berlin, reveals a particular scenery that is perceivably the trace of the wall. Skulpturenpark Berlin Zentrum which is the project developed to place art in such places was launched by 5 artists in 2007 and has been attracting attention for its experimental and active exhibitions. The areas of this project are integrated into this year’s biennale.

Steelkill, Luciana Lamothe, 2008

The works of some artists spread all over the stretch of a space. For example Luciana Lamothe writes big letters backword “CORTARTE TO DO (CUT YOU OFF)“ in Spanish on the billboard, and its background makes a reference to the Palace of the Old Republic.

Similar themes can be seen at different sites. In the construction, filmed in Ania Molska’s video works, the space is separated by a wall and fence designed by Kateřina Šedá who is exhibiting at another site work related to ‘living’.
