STEPHAN MORGENSTERN – YEARS OF CHANGE

The Analog Art Photography Gallery presents Stephan Morgenstern - Years of Change.


Some 30 years on, we look back through the eyes of Stephan Morgenstern at one of the most exciting times that shaped Germany. He photographed his documentation of East German change for “Der Spiegel”, which was the medium par excellence at the time. He showed people's attitude to life at first hand and how reunification in particular turned everyday life completely upside down.

For over two years, the then Frankfurt photographer traveled through the wild East and showed what shocked people elsewhere or even left them speechless. His expressive black-and-white photographs tell of decline, liquidation and a spirit of optimism, of the formative legacy of everyday life in the GDR, of hope for freedom, travel and consumption, but also of the loss of home and the dark sides of a past that has never been dealt with and still casts its shadow today.
