Presentation of the photo documentation "Gorbitz" by Christine Starke
Book presentation in the special exhibition
The photographer Christine Starke presents her 1989 photo album about the Gorbitz development area.
The work documents a residential building using black and white photographs in medium format. The album is characterised by its elaborate design with various fold-out elements that lead the viewer from the outside to the inside and from the cellar to the roof. The photographs show the architecture, the residents and their living environment in the then new residential complex.
The photo album is currently on display in the special exhibition "Platte Ost / West" and will be removed from the display case for the event.
About the photographer:
Christine Starke (born 1951 in Dresden) has been working as a freelance photographer since 1985, specialising in portrait, documentary and architectural photography.
