While searching for information on the city of Leipzig during her Blinky Palermo grant from the East German Savings Bank- (Sparkasse-) Foundation together with the Leipzig Sparkasse, Dora García came across the Museum an der “Runden Ecke”, the Stasi and the events in Leipzig in 1989 (“The Peaceful Revolution”). Her work exhibited in the GfZK grapples with the history of the Stasi and engages itself with methods of surveillance.
