Presente remoto. Germania Est.
There will be no more GDR. Nothing but a footnote in world history.
Stefan Heym, 1990
After the Fall of the Berlin Wall Eastern Germany experienced a faster development, or rather an assimilation, to western standard than any other country of the former Eastern Bloc. With the riunification the state GDR has disappeared from the atlases, but not from socialcultural geography. . In riunified Germany after 20 years with all congruence and overlapping you still can feel and see the differences: something resisted to antisocial iconoclasm in urban landscape, way of living etc.
Traces and trails admixed to the actual status quo, collective and individual memories integrated in the new old Germany.

Il confronto tra l'enorme ed incombente"passato" ed il microscopico vivissimo futuro è colmo di speranza.
