In the series "Sequences 1987-1992," Hans Martin Sewcz offers a glimpse into a period of rapid political and social transformation, reflecting autobiographical elements and the quest for identity amid Berlin's reunification. Sewcz's retrospective approach intertwines personal phases in East Berlin with the broader context of Germany's reunification, using visible perforations on the negative strips to emphasize the process and narrative elements within each sequence.
