Materials: Broken shards of GDR crockery, old phennigs and mirror

Part of a project in 2011 involving 30 artists. The Trabant car, an emblem of former East Germany is transformed using broken shards of GDR crockery, old phennigs and mirror.  All mosaic materials were donated by the public.

The Thuringian ceramics factories closed with the destruction of the wall. The inclusion of these GDR ceramics has developed an ongoing interest in this period of history and the mosaicing of vehicles connected with it.
