Notes: "The Mauerreise (The Wall Journey) expedition equipment consisted of replica wall elements made from hard polystyrene and covered with canvas which were sent to Yemen, the Palestinian Territories, Israel, Korea, Cyprus, Mexico and China.  Once in the destination countries, the wall imitations served as vehicles for the ideas, conceptions and feelings of young people, art students, writers and artists, who have made canvases out of their own highly personal experiences with the phenomena of the 'wall'"--P. 198.

The replica wall elements were displayed at the Festival of Freedom, on  the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall on 9 Nov. 2009.  The Goethe Institute represented the international contingent at this exhibition organized by the Kulturprojekte Berlin.
