Astronaut/Cosmonaut mural by Ash

It was painted in 2007 and measures 22x14 m. It is one of the most famous murals in Berlin and is considered a landmark and tourist attraction in Kreuzberg. It was made using a large stencil.[1][2]

Originally, at nights, the Astronaut/Cosmonaut held a moving flag in his hand: it was a shadow of an actual flag, cast from the parking lot of a car dealership across the street, which does not exist anymore.
