Photo Gallery Marxism Today
In a video that is one of the main draws at this year's Berlin Biennale exhibition in the German capital, British artist Phil Collins has documented the upheavals of the past 20 years in Germany. His work is a collaboration with former Marxism-Leninism teachers from East Germany -- a vocation that died with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
British video artist Phil Collins' new film "Marxism Today" looks back at communist East Germany and pays visits to educators who taught Marxism-Leninism in the times of the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
The film intersperses interviews with former teachers and professors together with contemporary images from the GDR, like this stadium event.

She has also lost her taste for bananas, which were also handed out during Kohl's appearance.
