The Rules

 

When entering the Square from the nothern Friedrichstrasse or via the Hallesches Tor in the south, the visitor will come across panels that are fixed in the ground. They provide invitation and explanations for the game of the installation THE ORACLE OF BERLIN. The explanations consist of three simple sentences that will be translated into many world languages:

“Ask yourself a Question that cannot be answered with a simple Yes or No. Make your way to the colour that attracts you most at that moment. 2500 years of wisdom will answer your Questions.”

 

“One can encounter this invitation in two ways : if you ask yourself a nonsense question you get the correspondant answer. If you ask yourself a question from the bottom of your heart the game becomes thrilling and can be a personal gain.” Bonger Voges

The ground plaques consist of granitic surfaces (1,2 sqm) in different shades of grey with incorporated letters of stainless steel.
