Cement slabs that used to make up the Berlin Wall are painted with the portraits of (from left) German politician Willy Brandt, Tibet’s exiled spiritual leader Dalai Lama, leader of Indian independence movement Mahatma Gandhi, Burmese opposition politician Aung San Suu Kyi and South African anti-apartheid revolutionary Nelson Mandela, at a vacant lot in Teltow, outside of Berlin, yesterday. A construction company purchased parts of the wall and offers the possibility to paint them legally after applying for it.
