Chess, hypothetical
I decided to take the play in to the most iconic symbol of the Cold war; the Berlin Wall.
The wall represents the volatile situation between the Soviet and the West, and created a literal barrier between the opponents, not only dividing Europe, but separating families and loved ones.
​
As Cold war was a large scale chess match played by politicians, and other powerful figures, I thought the most provocative and intriguing approach would be to place the delicate, pristine game of chess and its players within the heart of the conflict. Through this concept we can shake the balance and create an effective contrast by placing the events amidst the scars of war.
