Leipziger Platz - Berlin Art Print

Leipziger Platz is a real octagon, and this print shows it from above in dark petrol, ochre, rust red and sand. I kept the shape of the square and let the colours carry its history: the dark petrol ring stands for the blocks around it today, the ochre lines for the older block line, the broken rust-red band for the ruins of 1945 and the three cranes for the building site after 1990.
The ring opens only where the square opens today, to the east towards Leipziger Straße and to the west towards Potsdamer Platz. The layers are symbolic: this is a stylised illustration, not a measured map, and it does not show where the Wall ran.
