On my first day in Berlin, I found Kaninchenfeld—a field of brass rabbits embedded in the pavement by artist Karla Sachse.
The artist who lived in East Berlin, paid homage to a community of rabbits who were trapped between the wall in living peacefully in the death zone were people were killed as they tried to escape to the west.
The guards as well as citizens from both the east and west would throw carrots over the wall to feed the rabbits.
When food became scarce, the rabbits began tunneling under the wall from east to west unbothered by fear or force.
In my series, Run Rabbit Run, each rabbit marks the very places where people successfully escaped.
