The East Side Gallery,'Detour to the Japanese Sector' 'Detour to the Japanese Sector' was painted by East German artist Thomas Klingenstein. The mural evokes the artist's childhood desire to explore and live in Asia - somewhere East Germans were not allowed to travel to or learn much about. Klingenstein spent time in a Stasi prison for dissidents activity before being extradited to West Germany and later living in Japan from 1984 until the mid-'90s. The Berlin Wall, a former symbol of division, is now the world's largest open-air gallery, featuring 105 murals by artists from across the globe.Berlin, Germany, 19/10/2019
