former GDR

'Fotografien 1980-2010' gives a perfect overview of the photographic work of Hans-Christian SCHINK, including his series around German unity and series created in Asia. The conflict between civilization and nature can be found in almost all his works.

The b/w images by Sibylle BERGEMANN collected in her out-of-print photo book 'Fenster' do not follow any overarching plan, but are an expression of subjective perception. Each with its details captured window says something about the people they belong to

Out-of-print volume 'Berlin 1978-1987' by Boris BECKER shows early works of the photographer of the Düsseldorf Photo School, taken on 35mm and medium format. In the course of history and the change of our perception, these have gained in importance.

The volume 'Gedruckt und erblättert' deals about the photobook as a medium of aestethic articulation and contains recent contributions from art scholars on the subject, discussing the photobook as a cultural-historical, social as well as political medium.

The images in 'In einem stillen Land' (In a quiet country) by Roger MELIS bear witness to the skepticism & resignation of the East Germans, but also to their pride, spirit of contradiction & longings - an interior view created after the fall of the GDR.

Gebundene Ausgabe, 21 x 30 cm., 268 S., 165 Duoton-S/W & 3 Farb-Abb., deutsch-sprachiger Text - GERMAN TEXT ONLY!

Out-of-print artist's book, 'Lange Weile' by Tina BARA, contains b/w-mages taken between 1983 and 1989 in East Berlin, the old GDR and other travels. This visual diary captures a moment right before the collapse of an entire political & ideological system

In 'Zuerst das Leben' Willy RONIS documents a modern socialism, ignoring the problems of the system. These are pictures about everyday life in the GDR, which - detached from the context of the Cold War - unfold their full stylistic and aesthetic effect.
