Edited with text by Friedrich Tietjen. Text by Marie Egger, Marit Herrmann, Judith Riemer.
A selection of found photography from the turn of the century in East Germany
This volume gathers private photo albums from East Germany dating from 1980 to 2000. Treating photography as a social practice, it reviews how the images were produced and the ways in which they reflect the political conditions of the times. Note this title’s special book features: The book is a so-called rough cut. The sheets are uncut, which means it has pages still joined at the fore edges. This type of binding refers to the traditional bookbinder’s practice of not trimming the edges of the folded paper signatures before binding a book; instead, the user would cut them to read and/or see.
