> More of a layered reading of all that is in place from different times,
moments, architecture, movements, what is lost, what is present, what
can comment and collide with what is seen as much as "reading" unseen
information(s).  You could map multiple berlins, different times,
different layers in physical city, in metaphorical references/ sense of
the city, comment on the layers in time and even slip from one to other
on a physical map and in what is to be seen and/or heard in a certain
physical location. Also, what can be read of movement in the city, of
traffic, of walkways, of how one navigates, and of the physical shifts
in perspective with distance ...how would that be read and translated
experientially and through metaphors and shifts in artistic content
(sound, music, visual etc..)
