Additional information
Always deeply involved with place and memory, the East German–born photographer Ulrich Wüst has found meaning in the contested history and topography of eastern Germany before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. With German unification, urban and social change and the memory culture of the former German Democratic Republic became the primary rationale for his work, and his focus shifted from Berlin to the villages and rural landscapes northeast of the city, his home now for half the year.
