Headless Monitor People

Go on, stick your head in that neck-stump. It's fun! A reader points out these headless statues in Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, created by filmmaker Terry Gilliam as part of a larger art/media installation. You walk up to the statues and look inside their necks, only to find a TV monitor that shows you a short video about Berlin. The statue also takes your picture, and your face may be interspersed with slideshows of famous Berliners projected onto nearby buildings at night. Note that most Berliners do not contain torso-mounted video monitors.
