CNN International and El Bocho worked together for the project “Go Beyond Borders”. This project takes the visitor 20 years back in time to the events which happend during the Fall of the Wall in Berlin1989.

In the presented artworks one will discover some of the people who were brave enough to challenge the wall. In doing this, “Go Beyond Borders” is an appeal to think further and overcome frontiers. This is exactly what these people were driven by, two decades ago in a city where the frontier was part of the everyday life, dividing the city in half.
El Bocho used tape to recreate scenes that happend at the wall, at the orginial locations. Therefore, 40.000 meters of tape have been produced.

The actions can be seen from the 9th until 15th of November, following the former course of the Wall from the Bernauer Straße in Wedding right through the city until the Elsenstraße in Treptow.

Use this google maps to find all locations with many additional informations and pictures.

Several videos can be found at the “Go Beyond Borders” Youtube channel.

CNN International belongs to CNN Worldwide and is received in over 250 million households in more than 200 countries. Find more about Go Beyond Borders on the CNN Berlin Wall page.
