34) Pariser Platz

Pariser Platz doesn’t exist before November 24, 1994. When the first MTV Europe Music Award fills the space with a white tent for 2.500 invited guests. The show is hosted by Tom Jones, Take That win best group, and Brandenburger Tor turns out well as a stage background. The hermetic white tent stands in the middle of nothing, framing the edges of the plaza that isn’t there, occupying it as its inversion. Nobody besides one can guess that this is the future of Berlin.
