TV Tower Kebab, 2004
Video and photograph documentation of performance During a 3 months residency in Berlin in 2004,1 discovered how dominant the TV-tower on Alexander Platz is in Berlin's cityscape. With its presence anywhere you go, it becomes a navigation point when traveling around in the city. While living in Berlin, I also became aware of the "Döner Kebab's" popularity {Turkish-style meat on a stick). For a one-time event, I asked the employees at "Grill und Schlemmer Buffet," a Döner kebab restaurant in Mitte, Berlin to carve the "kebab" meat in the shape of the TV-tower. which they could see looking out of the window of the restaurant.
The images on this page show the carving in progress as well as the final result 13 hours later.
