The wall is back!

For one week only (November 5-9), people visiting Berlin will be able to travel back to 1989, when the wall was still standing next to the Brandenburger Tor. The South Korean artist Eun Sook Lee has created a light installation named "Vanished Berlin Wall", which resembles a piece of the Berlin Wall, but is made of plastic illuminated by fluorescent light. By doing so, the artist is trying to appeal to the politicians of the two Koreas to show them that reunification is a possibility, just as it happened here in Germany.
Somehow, I don't think that a piece of light-up plastic will be enough to reunite South and North Korea!
