To explain the meaning behind the artwork, we have to go back 40 years in the past and understand that this street is hosts a 40 year battle between the left wing scene and the newspaper Bild, the most sold newspaper in Europe with a circulation of more than 3 million issues a day. This battle started in the 1960s when student activists held Bild and its headlines responsible for the death of Benno Ohnesorg and the attempted assassination of the student leader Rudi Dutschke. But this was the sixties and I imagined that this sculpture has nothing to do with what happened.

This is a dispute between Bild editor-in-chief Kai Diekmann and the legendary left-wing Tageszeitung newspaper. How does this silly sculpture of Kai Diekmann naked, wearing glasses and with a giant penis that extends all the way to top of the Taz building adds anything to this dispute? I don’t know and it is hard for me to say anything about it but I love the fact that I walk in front of this bizarre landmarks every day.
