After years of genocide, war, division and oppression the capital city of Germany is now known for its cutting edge, liberal views on politics and society.<\/p>\n<p>From this history a massively charged art scene has developed promoting free thinking and rebellion. From the bohemian suburbs of Kreuzberg and Friederichschain to the abandoned buildings and warehouses tucked away in the back corners of the city some of the most famous and fascinating pieces of art have been installed, both legally and illegally, either waiting to be discovered or completely removed from prying eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Along the longest section of the Berlin Wall still standing is the emotionally driven East Side Gallery, the largest open-air art gallery in the world. Used as a representation of the resilience of the Berlin population this has become an ever-changing relic of history.<\/p>\n<p>One cannot really experience\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Berlin?omnsml=blogen&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_campaign=destination\" class=\"post links\">Berlin<\/a>\u00a0without delving into some of the powerful, beautiful and moving pieces of street art located all over the city.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Astronaut&#8221; &#8211; Victor Ash &#8211; Mariannenstra\u00dfe, Kreuzberg<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-Astronaut-Victor-Ash.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1852 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-Astronaut-Victor-Ash.jpg\" alt=\"Berlin Astronaut - Victor Ash\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Towering high above Mariannenstra\u00dfe in the tragically hip suburb of Kreuzberg is one of Berlin\u2019s most famous art pieces &#8211; Victor Ash\u2019s Astronaut. Commissioned by the city in 2007 as part of the Blackjumps street art festival, Ash\u2019s floating spaceman measures 22m by 14m and is thought to be the largest stencil in the world.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Alex Wells, Victor Ash said that his motivation behind the piece was, \u201cmaking the astronaut in relation to the space race between America and the USSR, to the idea of fighting for something that isn\u2019t with soldiers, that isn\u2019t here on Earth\u2014it\u2019s in another dimension. That\u2019s the kind of idea that inspires me: it\u2019s more global, more human.\u201d He felt that the location being in Berlin was important due to the way the city was viewed as an \u2018icon\u2019 during the Cold War.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;The Wall Jumper&#8221; &#8211; Gabriel Heimler &#8211; East Side Gallery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-The-Wall-Jumper-Gabriel-Heimler.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1858 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-The-Wall-Jumper-Gabriel-Heimler.jpg\" alt=\"Berlin The Wall Jumper - Gabriel Heimler\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Berlin Wall painted on the Berlin Wall. This simple image remains one of the most powerful and inspirational pieces on the entire East Side Gallery. French artist Gabriel Heimler portrays a man jumping over the barricades from West Berlin into East Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>It is analysed to represent an East German acquiring freedom by leaping over the wall, although Heimler supposedly meant it to represent a man crossing into the East to buy up the East German state companies. Whatever the true meaning is, it now stands as an artwork that promotes liberty and unification in this world.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;The Artist\u2019s Tears&#8221; &#8211; Jimmy C &#8211; Revalerstrasse, Friederichschain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/berlin-theartiststears.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1862 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/berlin-theartiststears.jpg\" alt=\"berlin theartiststears\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>James Cochran, also known as \u2018Jimmy C\u2019, was a key player in the underground graffiti art movement back in his home country of Australia during the 1990s. Having graduated from university with a master&#8217;s degree in visual art and inspired by traditional Aboriginal dot paintings, Jimmy C then took his unique art across the seas and now has his work featured in some of the world\u2019s hippest cities.<\/p>\n<p>Famed for his use of drip style painting, each piece is completed with hundreds of bursts with a spray can. \u2018The Artist\u2019s Tears\u2019 is a recreation of an original piece he made 10 years earlier, now plastered in Berlin marking the merging of his \u201cinterest in figurative realism in painting with graffiti or street art.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Es Geschah Im November&#8221; (It Happened In November) &#8211; Kani Alavi &#8211; East Side Gallery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-hwblognovember.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1863 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-hwblognovember.jpg\" alt=\"Berlin streetart\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When the Berlin Wall came down, Kani Alavi was there. Looking out from his bedroom window he noted that he was \u201cexpecting to see happy and excited faces, but as I observed them closely, I also saw sad, insecure and frightened faces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he was commissioned to paint a mural on the East Side Gallery, one image came to mind. That of thousands of oppressed East Berliners, now being offered the opportunity to break through the wall and meet up with loved ones for the first time in 28 years. But along with that immense relief came a fear of the unknown. The emotions expressed on Alavi\u2019s people aren&#8217;t those of happiness &#8211; they are of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Shackled By Time&#8221; and &#8220;Take Off That Mask&#8221; &#8211; BLU &#8211; Cuvrystrasse, Kreuzberg<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-shackled.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1864 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-shackled.jpg\" alt=\"Berlin shackled\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Under the pseudonym of \u2018Blu\u2019, this Italian artist has been travelling the world showcasing his street art since 1999. In 2008 he made his way to Berlin to paint the huge mural, \u2018Shackled By Time\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>His location wasn\u2019t just chosen based on opportunity &#8211; this was where one of the 12 border checkpoints of the Berlin Wall once stood. Keeping this tragic point in history in mind, he painted the image of a headless man fastening a necktie wearing two gold wristwatches, which are connected by a gold chain; similar to handcuffs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-mask.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1865 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-mask.jpg\" alt=\"Berlin mask\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>His second mural named \u2018Take Off That Mask\u2019 depicts two figures trying to remove the cloth from over the faces of each other with one hand.

For 28 years in Berlin, everything was far from being all right. However the opinions and emotions felt by the citizens of the city held little value to those who were in charge of the oppression.<\/p>\n<p>To fight back was suicidal and to question authority would bring intense pain to friends and family. Instead people were forced to simply pretend that they were happy with how things were eventuating. Michail Serebrjakow\u2019s moving piece of art, The Diagonal Solution To Problems, alludes to the enforced positivity that was pressed down on the city.<\/p>\n<p>Being chained into a signal of \u201cyes\u201d means little when \u201cno\u201d is not an option.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;The Pink Man&#8221; &#8211; Blu &#8211; Oberbaum Bridge, Kreuzberg<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-pink-man.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1867 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Berlin-pink-man.jpg\" alt=\"Berlin pink man\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blu has left more than his fair share of fascinating art in Berlin, and this piece is no exception. The mammoth pink creature apparently about to consume a smaller human is actually pieced together with hundreds of smaller pink men.<\/p>\n<p>Typical in Blu\u2019s style, this is not just simply a piece of art with little meaning. The minuscule naked men with looks of pain etched on their faces are all tied together to form one giant monster. With his gaping mouth and vacant eyes, the evil demon is going to eat the one person who is an individual &#8211; the white man breaking away from the mould.<\/p>\n<p>It could be read as society\u2019s evils constantly devouring those who try to seek independence and freedom by choosing to not conform; reminiscent of the terrible Nazi regime of previous years. Those standing back and viewing the piece of art can form their own opinions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ohne Titel (Untitled) &#8211; Andrej Smolak &#8211; East Side Gallery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/berlin-ohne-titel-street-art.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1868 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/berlin-ohne-titel-street-art.jpg\" alt=\"berlin ohne titel street art\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Along the entire length of the gallery the varying designs of motifs tend to signify peace, freedom and unity. A strong message that can be felt as you walk from one end to the other. When you come across this untitled piece by Czechoslovakian artist, Andrej Smolak, all these impressions come together in a beautiful and uplifting moment.<\/p>\n<p>The white dove is pulling on a chain linked to an imprisoned hand. Two powerful symbols of peace are breaking apart the confines of captivity. Contrasted with the imposing ideologies of the wall it is painted on you can\u2019t help but feel a longing for harmony across the city.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8220;Suspended&#8221; &#8211; Alice Pasquini &#8211; Warschauer Strasse, Friedrichshain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/berlin-street-art-suspended.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1869 post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/berlin-street-art-suspended.jpg\" alt=\"berlin street art suspended\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the Italian city of Rome comes Alice Pasquini, otherwise known as AliC\u00e9.
