In Home Straight Berlin 2, Mona von Wittlage continues her exploration of Berlin’s charged urban landscape. A nude figure, painted in blood, swings a golf club down the long axis leading to the Brandenburg Gate, the famous Fernsehturm rising faintly in the distance. The gesture is playful yet absurd, its fragility heightened by the medium itself — blood marking the body as transient against the monumental backdrop of history.

Graphite delineates the city with architectural precision, while blood inscribes vulnerability into its core. The juxtaposition destabilizes both: the gate, symbol of permanence, becomes a stage for fleeting human action; the fragile body, so easily erased, takes on the role of defiant protagonist.

Home Straight Berlin 2 reflects on the dissonance between leisure and legacy, exposing the tension between individual fragility and the weight of collective memory.
