What in other families' guest room was called the 'Africa room' by the SCHÖNHARTINGs. In the lavishly designed book 'Das Erbe', the Ostkreuz photographer embarks on an associative journey, a personal dialogue with private, social colonial responsibility.

The photographs in 'Voll das Leben' by Harald HAUSWALD stand in contrast to the decay & insanity surrounding them. Pictures of the monotony, but also of the slowness of life in the GDR, testimonies of an isolated, enclosed world shortly before its demise.
