the exhibit highlights the photographic exploration of 36 students from the University of Paderborn who documented both the visible and invisible remnants of the Berlin Wall in modern day Germany. The result is a photographic reflection of the shifting image of a city that has become unified despite its horrific past. The photographs offer a visual commentary on the issue of self-identity in a country that, for the past 20 years, has attempted to put itself back together again
