There is an empty bank in Neukölln. Placed at Karl Marx Straße, it still stands as the relic of the financial vision of the last centuries. Now the employers have left the building, the vaults are open and the cash machines are dismantled. The bank is literally blank. This institution of faith in cash, trust in money and illusion of prosperity for the many not for the few has moved on to scout some other locations, may these venues be concrete or virtual. But what will happen with this place now?…
