Urban Remnants: Place, Memory, and Artistic Practice in Berlin and Bogotá.
Encounters, 1.
pp. 75-88.
Abstract
Twenty years after unification, Berlin now boasts sleek corporate buildings (Figure 1), regional
transportation nodes, a federal government district, a renovating historic district, gentrified inner
city neighborhoods, trendy galleries, and a centralized memory district (Till, 2005). Advertising
campaigns promoting the city have used tours, viewing platforms, and “wrapped” building sites
with plastic façades to depict the city to come. City marketing and tourism strategies have
been successful in making the “new” city a spectacle, even after the boom of post-unification
construction.
