It's a community work of many different artists, which will change its view every day. > 20 years after the fall of the berlin wall everybody is talking about the breakdown. We are constructing a temporary memorial and artistic canvas for visual and lively remembrance, dynamic reflection, and a critical assessment, emphasizing art & action. (From the flyer) The art installation in the public space consists of three entangled parts: - A wall, consisting of 20 wall segments from the Berlin Wall. - A camera, which takes every minute a shot of the wall - An interface, which is accessible locally or via the Internet. The interesting fact behind this installation is, that only one side is free for painting - As in the divided Berlin only the west side of the wall is directly accessible. Hence there will be a counterpart to the famous East Side-Gallery, the West Side Gallery! Today I visited the “Write the Wall”-installation and [took some shots of it](http://www.flickr.com/photos/streetart-berlin/sets/72157622075319412/) - Take a look! ![write the wall]() write the wall ![write the wall ]() write the wall ![write the wall]() write the wall
