New triptych for "Critical Distance"

This yet to be titled triptych (working title: Diplomacy) is a reflection on post-Cold-War politics and history debates in Germany and beyond (macro and micro). Although, this triptych, too, is conceived as a "free-standing" image, it should be ideally read/viewed within the context of the "Critical Distance" series. I welcome any feedback and criticism.

[Update March 27, 2010] I think I will call this triptych Contested. In a nut shell, it contemplates how political and economical differences were perceived and contested during the Cold War (and even now), as well as how these differences were negotiated and pictured after the collapse of the so-called Communist bloc. Until 1989, Heimat was a place under constant threat; but only after the danger was dissolved, East Germany ceased to exist.
