This virtual experience leads the inhabitant through an alternate history in which the Berlin Wall is located along the street of the 17th of June through the Tiergarten. The wall tells its story. It reflects upon the division, the escapes, the construction, and the destruction that transpired while simultaneously narrating the case of a man sold to a zoo in order to escape from the East. Through the use of visual and audial aids, an immersive experience is created that triggers reflections and positions the viewers within the events that transpired, what could have been, and what may happen again.
