The absurd pair of passers-by “Ghost with dog” refers tongue-in-cheek to the history of the banks of the Spree at Berlin’s Gotzkowsky Bridge. It was here that the industrialist Friedrich Gebauer created an empire in the 19th century by bleaching and mangling textiles. The mighty, romantic-looking weeping willow forms the perfect backdrop for the two relaxed actors, who reference the city’s industrial history while also giving Berlin’s digital start-up center a humorous shape.
