Barnimstraße Berlin women’s prison.

Berlin’s central women’s prison, just five minutes away from Alexanderplatz, stood for more than a hundred years. The most prominent political prisoner here was Rosa Luxemburg. The ground plan of the building, which was demolished in 1974, now has practice streets for a youth traffic school. An audio production by the artist Christoph Mayer will now be opening the doors into the perceptual worlds of women and through the now extinct prison building. Large, coloured markings on the pavement act as a permanent anchorage in this urban space and leads visitors to the site which was previously hidden from view. Mayer
needed a special shade for this. As this is a public urban area, the paint needed to stand out clearly from the usual road markings and be UV-resistant, durable and dirt-repellent. All suppliers recommended Triflex to him in their tender documents. And so Mayer opted for Preco Cryl High-Friction Plastic 2K.
