You're standing at the edge of the Tiergarten in Berlin, at the memorial to the gay people persecuted under Nazism. At first glance it's just a grey block of concrete. A cube, 3.6 metres tall and 1.9 metres wide, set slightly askew among the trees. It was designed by Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, a Danish-Norwegian artist duo.
