The images by Uwe STEINBERG in 'Berlin. Fotografien 1963-1983' range from observations in the Central Market Hall at Alexanderplatz from the early 1960s to insights into the industrial working world of the 70s to a long-term study of Schönhauser Allee.

In his monograph on Ulrich WÜST, 'The Presence of Something Past,' Gary Van Zante contextualizes the work to American & German urban and landscape photography. With over 200 images, including for the first time some of his leporellos from the title series

'Aus der Ferne: Bilder der DDR' (From far away. Images of the GDR) is about dealing with the visual heritage, about hidden bodies of knowledge & multiple meanings, as well as the specific contexts in which the photos were taken, and how to deal with them.

The photo book 'Women at Work' by Helga PARIS shows 49 portraits taken in 1984 for the series 'Women in the clothing factory VEB Treff-Modelle Berlin'. From the close familiarity of the women workers in their environment, touching portraits were created.

First overall presentation of the photographic work of the photographer, who was born in Dresden. To rediscover is a careful and accurate chronicler, a busy player in the GDR photo scene and a skeptical, distant observer of the post-reunification period.

New publication of the 1982 black and white photos by Roger MELIS, first published in 1986 as a photo book. 'Paris zu Fuss' (Paris on Foot) was the first book by an East German photographer who told life in a strange city through photography alone.

The out-of-print volume 'Assembly' by Thomas FLORSCHUETZ contains architecture images of buildings in Chandigarh, based on designs by Le Corbusier and in Brasília (by Oscar Niemeyer), as well as of the Palace of the Republic and the Neues Museum in Berlin

The catalog 'Fortschritt als Versprechen' (Progress as promise. Industrial photography in divided Germany) places commissioned works in the context of their contemporary use for the first time. The focus is on the concepts linked in East and West Germany.

The book 'Replies' by Andreas TROGISCH has no theme and no concept. He only has pictures. In front of his eyes and in his head. And he has his camera, which he uses to take new pictures, which then correspond with all the pictures that are already there.
