Presentation of the photographic documentary ‘Gorbitz’ by Christine Starke
Book launch at the special exhibition
Photographer Christine Starke presents her 1989 photo album on the Gorbitz new-build estate.
The work documents a residential building through medium-format black-and-white photographs. The album is notable for its elaborate design, featuring a variety of fold-out sections that guide the viewer’s gaze from the outside in and from the basement to the roof. The photographs depict the architecture, the residents and their living environment in what was then a newly built housing complex.
The photo album is currently on display in the special exhibition ‘Platte Ost / West’; it will be taken out of the display case for the event.
