"Reasonable Architecture - Space Traveler" Jun Hyun-moo and Hong Jin Kyung are surprised by a work that captures the kiss of the century.
The second episode of architect Yoo Hyun-joon, cartoonist Kim Poong and broadcaster Daniel Lindemann's German architecture trip will be revealed on the MBC cultural program "Reasonable Architecture - Space Traveler" airing on the 16th (directed by So Hyung-jun, Seong Seung-min / writer Nam Su-hee / hereinafter "Reasonable Architecture"). It is not simply sightseeing in Berlin. A special "architectural dark tourism" (travel that reflects on the value of peace at places where tragic events occurred) that remembers war through architecture will unfold and is expected to resonate with viewers.
At the Berlin Wall, the first location they visited, the three see with their own eyes how Germany remembers war. The wall symbolizing division had become a canvas for art. The most famous work, "The Kiss of the Brothers," shocks viewers with visuals that stop people in their tracks. Watching the footage, Jun Hyun-moo and Hong Jin Kyung are also shocked at the sight of the two men kissing, saying, "What, is this real?" Daniel Lindemann explains who the protagonists in the work are and what hidden meanings are contained. It provokes curiosity about what story lies behind this kiss.
Across Berlin there were memorial spaces everywhere, and among them the memorial hidden in Pariser Platz surprises everyone by being in an unexpected location. The three cannot help but admire the meaning of the memorial that makes them bow their heads. Germany's various ways of commemorating the pain of war, remembered amid passing daily life, bring surprise and draw attention.
Arriving at the German Reichstag, Yoo Hyun-joon, Kim Poong and Daniel Lindemann encounter a symbol of democracy that holds special meaning for Germans. Jun Hyun-moo exclaims, "The meaning is amazing," at the ingenious design that shows "power is beneath the people." Kim Poong, pleased with an architectural dark tourism guided by "right" Yoo Hyun-joon and "left" Daniel Lindemann, says, "I like this combination so much. I learn so much I wonder if we should pay," raising anticipation for the Berlin architecture trip.
How Germany remembers war through architecture can be seen on MBC's "Reasonable Architecture - Space Traveler," airing at 9 p.m. on the 16th.
