Description
This poster depicts two giant letters DM (Deutsch Mark) on a grassy coastal area. Cars and construction equipment are shown for scale. The D has the small word "Hotel" resting on top and the M is being hoisted up by a rope. The title reads, "Save the Mark!" with the subtitle reading, "Soft tourism for the Brandenburg Mark and the alternative DDR." The use of Mark is a pun on both Deutsch Mark, the currency of the DDR, and to the land.
