The Crazy Barbarian Couple is a composite of a previous work entitled The Crazy Barbarian Combo from 2007 which is cut into small pieces. Each of the pieces show a detail of a photograph of one listed building by GDR architect Josef Kaiser in Berlin: Cinema Intenational, Cafè Moskau and the Glaspavillion. They were built from 1961 to 1964 and photographed in 2007. These pieces are collages together to form one part of a door. The other part is a saloon door made from a rudimentary drawing.
