Frozen Wasteland

For the past two months there has been a pavilion errected outside of the new Alexa mall on Alexanderplatz. The pavilion hosted a seasonal exposition of Ice Sculptures, that were carved to resemble monuments from around the world. The works were all one or two storys tall, including the Jesus statue from Rio de Janero, Brazil, a cathedral facade, etc. It was described as "more than 30 fading works of art...50 international artists build a blinking world of wonders out 500 tons of snow and ice, that invites you on a ramble through 4000 years of history and over all continents".

I never went inside because the €13 ticket price was a bit steep, however I did peek in as they were disassembling the pavilion. The above photo is the aftermath of the exhibition, where I like to think that they created a new sculpture representing the present point in this 4000 year history. An ice sculpture of all of the packaging waste that Alexa produces.
