close-up of a grey t-shirt with a graphic print
Short Termclose-up of a grey t-shirt with a graphic print. The graphic depicts a controversial 1979 painting by Dmitri Vrubel titled "My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love," also known as the "Fraternal Kiss." The painting shows a socialist fraternal kiss between Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker. The print on the t-shirt is detailed, showing the faces of the two men in a close embrace, with graffiti-like scribbles on their faces and surrounding areas. Below the image of the men, there is text in Russian and German. The Russian text reads "ЭТОЙ СМЕРТНОЙ ЛЮБВИ" which translates to "OF THIS DEADLY LOVE." The German text reads "HILF MIR DIESE TODLICHE LIEBE ZU UBERLEBEN" which translates to "HELP ME TO SURVIVE THIS DEADLY LOVE." Below this, there are dates "13.08.1961 - The Wall - 09.11.1989." The t-shirt itself appears to be made of cotton and is slightly creased. The background of the image is blurred, suggesting the t-shirt is laid flat or on a mannequin. No specific location in Schönefeld, Germany is identifiable from the image.
