The iron curtin

Shall we live as slaves or free men? It isolated the east from the west, it split Europe and the world, it took away our freedom, it held us in captivity and fear, it tormented and humiliated us and we finally wore it down.

This was an interesting installation, this was street art in Budapest, they lived under the threat of severe punishment during the Soviet communism occupation. They lost their freedom, they lost their individuality, they lost humanity. With the collapse of the Soviet communist empire and the iron curtain extending across eastern Europe, the people have gained freedom again.
