As research for PARK PROJECT BERLIN filmmaker Laura J. Lukitsch rode out to the southwest edge of Berlin to see if there really were peacocks on Peacock Island (Pfaueninsel). Yes, there were peacocks but also so much more. Wondering the island and happening upon flowers in bloom, a hidden fountain, and an aviary out of the 18th century. So many unexpected treasures. The 30 km bike ride was 15 km longer than expected, which meant arriving at 18h (6 pm). The last boat returns at 19h (7 pm) so that didn’t leave much time to explore. The island merits more time so another trip is in order. PARK PROJECT BERLIN is a multimedia museum, inviting intercultural dialogue: through photographs, videos and conversations filmmaker Laura J. Lukitsch and photographer Gundula Friese explore the importance of public space and the role that parks play in our society. parkprojectberlin.com #parkprojectberlin
