9 November 2019 marked the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and a starting point for a visual conversation between Berlin and Singapore.

Creative Director Larry Peh was invited by the German Embassy of Singapore to create a commemorative project for the occasion. Through a series of exploratory discussions, he formulated the overall concept, design and creative direction for the endeavour, deciding on a video-based approach to maximise resources and capitalise on the medium’s accessibility for worldwide sharing.

He envisioned a team of Singaporean and German creatives working together to incorporate the sentiments of freedom regained by Germans on 9 November 1989 in Berlin and re-channeling it into a short film. Instead of the nostalgia associated with such historic events, the project would attempt to transpose the zeitgeist of that period onto current day scenarios in both cities.
