The Story

Die Mauer ist Weg! (The Wall is Gone!) 

By a series of fortunate events, Mark Power was present at the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. 

To mark the 25th anniversary, Die Mauer ist Weg! (The Wall is Gone!) is bound as a pastiche of a newspaper Power purchased in Berlin the morning after, embossed into heavy-duty cardboard.
 
While the early pages read as news-based photojournalism, as the book unfolds Power retreats away from the epicentre of the event to re-camp over the border in an almost desolate East Berlin. From there he views the story from another perspective, before embarking on a (frankly rather pointless) search for Bertolt Brecht’s grave. 
 
The book is both a record of a major 20th century news event and a piece of critical soul-searching about the lessons learnt from the experience as, in the accompanying essay, Power recounts his fascinating tale of chance and choice.
