Berlin Biennale curator reflects on European ideal post-Brexit vote in personal narrative

A curator recounts a personal journey at the Berlin Biennale following the EU Referendum, triggered by a mistaken vote after a lunch at Sweetings. He explores the European ideal through artworks, including Anna Uddenberg's sculpture of a woman with a selfie stick and Jon Rafman's virtual reality piece with an Oculus Rift headset at the Akademie der Künste. The curator interacts with Klaus, a founder of Kunst-Werke, who reminisces about Berlin's art scene post-wall and mentions Fischerspooner and Björk. He receives an onward ticket to Manifesta from his editor, continuing his search for Europe's essence. The Berlin Biennale runs until 18 September 2016, with the narrative published online on 6 July 2016. The story weaves political turmoil, such as Boris Johnson's downfall, with artistic experiences, set against locations like Kastanienallee and Kurhaus Korsakow.
