The photography exhibition An den Rändern taumelt das Glück (At the Margins of Happiness), which was shown for the first time at the ACC Gallery in Weimar, is now making a stop in Berlin-Hellersdorf and combines different genres and protagonists. A selection of over 360 images by 37 photographers will be re-examined in two self-contained stages.
The views of the late GDR up to the upheaval of the early 1990s move from documentary practices to artistic and staged visual worlds, include the media border crosser photographic film and question the relationship between film and photography.
The GDR captured in photographs is a chronologically closed collection area, the scope of which has only just begun to be explored. With the historical distance of three decades, it is worth looking at the known material again and adding further positions to it.
