The end of the GDR is not the end of its images. What perspectives do we choose to construct our view of a society whose inner realities still leave many questions unanswered? 'On fleeting existence and uncertain happiness' is a photo and reading book about the final years of the GDR and the early post-reunification period. It brings together both well-known figures in photographic art and largely forgotten photographers - most of whom lived and grew up in the GDR - alongside perspectives from international photographers who captured the country from the outside.The photographic works in the book span documentary practices, artistic and staged imagery, and include hybrid forms like photo-film, probing the kinship between film and photography.In-depth essays and accompanying texts by renowned authors offer a multi-perspective approach to the photographic material.
