“I lived in Berlin in the early 1980s, before the Wall came down, and I was intrigued by its situation as a divided city. I’m fascinated by the Russian history of that area. While I was in Berlin, I made a work in that landscape, based on being inspired by John le Carré and the history of the region” (Joan Jonas).
