VOLKSBEGIERDEN TOTALE REKONSTRUKTION
Lecture-Performance, 2009
The "Volksbegierden Totale Reconstruction" is a fictious referendum for the total reconstruction of Berlin-Mitte and the reconstruction of the Neue Reichskanzlei of Albert Speer on the still empty Marx Engels Forum after the succesfull reconstruction of the Berlin city castle. The Visitors to the performance are welcomed in an info-shop with a model of Speer´s Reichskanzlei, build out of wurst and pumpernickel. Finger puppets of important Protagonists of the Berlin architecture and city planning debate are cited on theirs positions on reconstruction, a rehabilitation of fascist architecture and their obsession with a "rationalist" and "Stony Architecture".
