Vintage photos capture the passion and restlessness of East Germany's youth
Photography from the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany, has received limited exposure in the art world -- not least due to the strict limitations imposed by the former authoritarian state.
A new collection of images, first shown at the 2019 Rencontres d'Arles photography festival in the south of France by curator Sonia Voss, shines a light on the works that emerged from the GDR in the last decade before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Two new exhibitions reaffirm the power of photography for LGBTQ communities worldwide
"The decade preceding the fall of the wall is a very interesting one for the arts in Germany because there was a new generation that had not witnessed the founding of the GDR," Voss said in a phone interview.
"These were young people who were very detached from political ideas, but somehow just as tired and furious about the constraints that they were living with, which made them more likely to break the norms or push the limits compared to previous generations."
Ute Mahler, Berlin, Winfried Glatzeder, Robert and Philipp, 1982, from the "Living together" series.
In the "Restless Bodies" series, Voss explores how the body was at the center of these artists' creativity. Photographing one's own body, Voss explained, was an act of affirmation and resistance in a society that discouraged individuality and was suspicious of the arts. And by photographing others, the artists were able to provide lasting documents of East German realities.

Such was the case with Ute Mahler, one of the artists featured in the exhibition, whose "Living Together" comprises family portraits taken in Leipzig. In the exhibition's notes, she explains: "I wanted to get a peek behind the façade of the official rhetoric of optimism. I looked for what was real in people's private lives."
Similarly, Christiane Eisler's photos of Leipzig's punk community offer a glimpse into a private world.

"She followed them everywhere for a quite long time. It was a community that was very strongly under repression from Stasi. These are very melancholic portraits because of the tension between the rage and the despair, which was omnipresent in the GDR," Voss said.
Sibylle Bergemann, Heike, Berlin, 1988 (Allerleirauh).
Fashion photographer Sibylle Bergemann was commissioned by popular magazines, but also captured underground fashion scenes.
"She created a group with young designers who made clothes with whatever they could find, to develop a style that you could not see in stores. They made a lot of illegal shows, which were extremely successful, and Sibylle documented many of them," Voss explained.
Manfred Paul, Verena -- Geburt 3, [Verena -- Birth 3], 1977.
While Manfred Paul is primarily known for a series of photographs of Berlin's courtyards, the series focuses on the portraits he shot of his wife as she gave birth to their first son. With their intimacy, they offer a radical contrast to the social discourse seen elsewhere.
York der Knoefel, from the Schlachthaus series [Slaughterhouse], 1986-1988.
Self-taught photographer York der Knoefel spent two years documenting a Berlin slaughterhouse. "He saw it as a metaphor for the human condition and sacrifice for society," Voss said.
"To go with the portraits, he created an installation made out of zinc-coated plates which formed a labyrinth. He is a typical example of how a young person who did not receive a standard education really pushed the limits of photography."
Rudolf Schäfer, Der ewige Schlaf -- visages de morts [The Eternal Sleep -- Faces of the dead], 1981.
The striking portraits taken by artist Rudolf Schäfer are from a morgue at the Charité Hospital in East Berlin.
"I put this series in in the same section of the exhibition as other portraits, because for me it was like a quest for the ultimate essence of an individual. When you're a corpse you're not a social thing anymore, you're not a part of society, you're just yourself down to the essence of your being," said Voss.

These rare and beautiful vintage photos of Native American girls were taken between the late 1800s and the turn of the 19th Century, yet despite being over a hundred years old, many of the old photos are still in mint condition.
Women were well respected in traditional Native American tribe culture, and although they generally had different roles from men, the Native American women often had the same rights as their male counterparts. They usually owned the home along with everything in it, and in some tribes, while the chief was a man, it was the women who were responsible for electing him. Because women's activities were considered central to the welfare of the community in the Native American history, this gave them a certain level of social, political and economic power, and even today approximately 25% of Native American tribes recognized by the federal government of the United States are led by women.

This is one of my favorite photos in this lineup. It's great to see a really old photo with a smile, let alone one showing teeth! I was told that because shutter speeds were slower in the early days of photography that photographers required their subjects to stand still for long periods of time to expose the image to the film negative, hence so many photos from the 1800's to 1900's without smiles in them!
her name is Pretty Flower , my daughter could have been her twin
Her pipe bone breastplate and bone earrings are awesome. Young girls usually didn't wear things so elaborate. Maybe she was the daughter of someone important.
Must be the inspiration for Princess Leia from Star Wars
I like her "I could be up to something" grin!
This is the same girl on the left in #15, though she doesn't look the same. In #15, pen has been added which ruined it. I'd never have known it's the same girl except clothing, footwear, belt and jewelry are all the same along with hair. She's beautiful here.
These old photos capture the moment and the beauty
I visited that Pueblo; their sacred places were in the mountains behind the Pueblo.
This was the tribal hairstyle for women was the elaborate squash blossom or butterfly whorls worn by Hopi maidens
Interesting that even though she was in Buffalo Bill's side shows, there isn't really much written about her.
Prisoner of war... there was no war, just invasion and extermination.
This is not the same girl as #6 Hattie Tom. Eyes are all wrong.
I wonder how and why she has the American flag on her lap or dress??
She appears to be "with child" but she also appears SO YOUNG!!
I found it interesting that her name was Nelson
Aw, she's sweet looking but so sad.
Such beautiful clothing! I was born at Ft. Sill in the 60s and when a girl all I wanted was moccasins and native clothing. It was all just so beautiful! Of course, tie dye was good too.
It is interesting how back in the day they would only color in one or two items of a photo
Yankton is in South Dakota, which is Sioux country
These photos are amazing and belong in a museum.

and then we raped them, killed their families to stole their lands
Me neither or no one I know guilt only lasts so many centuries give it up
As they did to other tribes. Grow the f**k up and quit being a f*****g pussy
and don't forget about parking them into reserves like animals.
Why did you do that, Guimar???
And can you please provide evidence that your entire ancestral line has owned the ground they lived on and didn't take it from anyone back to the dawn of time?
Yes, it was so sad. But it was the Congress of the time that ordered the soliders to steal their land. The raping of women and girl,the killing of men were added extras by those soliders. Our government should be 200% ASHAMED OF ITSELF!!
The "noble warriors" did their fair share of killing, raping and enslaving too before whites ever arrived.
and here i am, wondering what shampoo/conditioner they are using
Native American is not the right term to use as these people are not Americans historically. The should be called the Rightful Inhabitants.
In Canada, they're called First Nation people. Talking to a husband and wife, not quite sure how I should refer to them, he laughed and said it didn't matter to them. Not all feel the same though.
Yes, true Jude, however in French, we call the "Natives" Autochtons as Israel Garcia mentions below for Mexico.... of which may of us French Canadians have their DNA.
In Mexico some of us prefer using the word which translated to english would be something like "autochthon" to refer those people who first inhabited these territories.
Shalom Israel .. I am French Canadian ... From the Province of New Brunswick. Just a little history here... I had my DNA done 12 yrs ago (Family Tree) and in my bank of relatives, ALL were Latinos. How can this be when my people did not travel in those days? Well, we came here via Southern France, while you were brought to "The Americas' by Christopher Columbus...directly from Spain.
It all happened during the SPANISH INQUISITION. Who are we?
We are Jews my friend. From Jerusalem we left at destruction of the Temple (70AD)
This is our real identity Israel. I have done extensive research which I could help you with.
Although many from the US thinks of our country as "America," "America" actually refers to the entire continent. Used correctly, it is not so much a cultural word as a geographic word. We would do well to remember this in our conversations. Assuming that people will know what we're talking about--especially those not from the US--assumes that the US is the best, most natural representation for an entire continent of countries and peoples, none of which is fair or true.
I have heard about this issue many times. I use to think that calling it America might be just a short form of the whole name "United States of America". I live en México and the whole and official name of the country is Estados Unidos Mexicanos (something like United States of Mexico or Mexican United States), but only in few ocassions we use it that form as we prefer to name it only Mexico.
The land they lived on is now called the Americas.
They were native to that land.
Thus, they are Native Americans.
Get over it.
Just because it's written in a book or on a document, doesn't make it the Truth. These are the True American people. Our race came over on ship. Welcomed them to Dinner and then the Greed took over and then the killing. Nearly Exterminated an Entire Race of Real American people
The more correct archaeological term is "indigenous people". Also called aboriginal people. YMMV
What's the right name to be addressed?
They are native to the North American Continent, so they are Native Americans. They are more American than we are.
They are native to the North American continent, hence they are Native Americans. They are more American than we are.
They should just be called Americans. And everyone else Invasive Americans.
