<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri" size="3">With approximately 8,000 large balloons, each one mounted on its own self-powered light post, German filmmakers Marc and Christopher Bauder lit a 15.3 km stretch of the former border between East and West Berlin.
On November 9, 2014, the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Berlin Wall, spectators helped release the balloons. Marc and Christopher named their project
<i>Border of Lights</i> (<i>Lichtgrenze</i> in German).</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3"> </font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="Calibri" size="3">On May 29, Marc Bauder will be at the University of Waterloo as part of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies’ annual conference. He’ll talk about how he and his brother conceived
and executed the public art installation. The presentation will be in English, and all are welcome. Simply come to HH2107 at 3:30 p.m.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>
