Ulrich Wüst intricately captured the urban landscapes and architectural motifs of the former GDR with exceptional detail and nuance. His photographs, characterized by stark compositions and muted tones, serve as poignant reflections on the built environment and societal dynamics of East Germany during the Cold War era. Wüst's work offers a compelling visual narrative with reference to the complexities of history, memory and social transformation within the urban fabric of the former GDR. – Corners slightly bumped, otherwise in very good condition.
