Everyday life in the GDR: photos from the 1980s by Mahmoud Dabdoub
Exhibition opening and book launch
1985 - Im Zug von Berlin nach Leipzig
© Mahmoud Dabdoub
Photographer Mahmoud Dabdoub's pictures of everyday life in the GDR show a world that no longer exists today. They are surprising motifs, characterized by a precise observation of everyday events. In conversation with the author Thomas Brussig, Mahmoud Dabdoub talks about the creation of his motifs, the photographer's gaze and his perspective on life in the GDR.
As an introduction, Dr. Sarah Bornhorst, curator for oral history, will shed light on the importance of working with contemporary witnesses for the Berlin Wall Foundation and what makes Mahmoud Dabdoub's photos so impressive and special.
A selection of his photographs will be exhibited at the Berlin Wall Memorial Visitor Center. The volume "Everyday life in the GDR. Photos from the 1980s" will be published by Passage Verlag in May.
