Berlin 2 1970

Editor: So, this is "Berlin 2" by Dieter Roth. The images of buildings, repeated on a pink background, give it a kind of sweet yet unsettling vibe. What do you make of it? Curator: It's like visual Muzak, isn't it? A candy-coated unease. Roth often played with repetition and decay, making us consider the lifespan of images and ideas. Does that pink feel ironic to you, almost a parody of pleasantness? Editor: Definitely. It almost feels like propaganda, or a skewed postcard. Curator: Precisely! It is that tension, the push and pull, that keeps it so alive. These aren't heroic monuments; they're fragments, ghosts, softened by that pink dream. Editor: I see what you mean. It is strangely compelling. Curator: It is like finding beauty in the broken, sweetness in the ruins.
