A boun­cy cas­tle as a mon­u­ment for Europe. The idio­syn­crat­ic aer­i­al struc­ture acts as a mes­sage on jour­neys and kicks off its pro­pa­gan­da tour of fun in Berlin. Where does Europe stand right now? What con­nects and what divides? What hopes and fears have been awak­ened? At the Liv­ing the City exhi­bi­tion, the Europe Boun­cy Cas­tle is like­ly the light­est mon­u­ment to be erect­ed and enter into con­ver­sa­tion with vis­i­tors.
