In 2022, I conducted in-depth research at the Stasi Records Archive during my artist residency at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. Since East German citizens were not permitted to photograph the Berlin Wall, the only images from the East German side were those taken by the Stasi, short for The Ministry for State Security - the intelligence service and secret police. Among thousands of Stasi images, I discovered 134 panoramic photos of the Berlin Wall that an archivist scanned for me. After printing, I cut out the Berlin Wall and the Death Strip and assembled the pieces to create new, utopian landscapes of Berlin without the Berlin Wall. I set up the rule that I had to use each of the 134 cut-out pieces in one of the 23 collages. The collages are included in my recent monograph, The Absence and Presence of the Berlin Wall / Die Ab- und Anwesenheit der Berliner Mauer, which was published by DISTANZ in English and German editions in August 2025. The book spans 350 pages, includes 209 images, and engages with questions of national identity and borders, exploring the current state of German reunification.
