The room installation Absurdes Berliner Tagebuch ’64 (Absurd Berlin Diary ’64) by Italian painter Emilio Vedova (1919–2006) was created in 1964 as part of a scholarship from the American Ford Foundation. It enabled the artist to live and work in West Berlin for a year. The work was executed in the former studio of the National Socialist sculptor Arno Breker, which today houses the Kunsthaus Dahlem. In the same year, the work was shown at documenta III in Kassel.
