"This iconic artwork by Morten Hjertø captures the moment when Conrad Schumann, a young East German officer, jumped over the Berlin Wall on August 15, 1961. The image, carefully executed in a unique pop art style on recycled cardboard packaging, gives a modern twist to a historic moment. Schumann's Jump over the barbed wire fence and the wall, became a powerful symbol of the longing for freedom and the desire to escape from communist East Germany to the freer West Germany.This artwork honors not only Schumann's courageous choice, but also the deeper message of hope and dreams of a better future.
