Background information
"For fourteen years, from 1977 to 1990, Gundula SCHULZE ELDOWY roamed through the old East Berlin, capturing with her camera the scars that the war had left on the city and its inhabitants, and recording in her pictures the last traces of the old Berlin milieu that was in decline. Her picture cycles leave no one indifferent. They inspire or they disturb. The artist moved in a milieu whose existence was often denied, and did not turn her gaze away when she encountered poverty, misery, despair and loneliness. However, her breaking of taboos was never an end in itself, but served to bring human tragedies closer. Over the past twenty years, her stirring images have traveled around the world and are now being published for the first time in an opulent illustrated book.
