»UMBRÜCHE: Photographs 1980-1995«

Ann-Christine Jansson

Curated by Harald Hauswald

For the first time the photo gallery Friedrichshain presents the extensive exhibition »UMBRÜCHE: Photographs 1980-1995« by the Swedish photographer Ann-Christine Jansson. Curated by Harald Hauswald.

Adopting an outsider’s perspective, Ann-Christine Jansson provides a unique account of East German and West German history. In her brilliantly conceived approach, the Berlin-based Swedish photographer conducts a closer inspection of upheavals in Germany’s recent past – taking both the East and West into account.

The pictures in her immersive exhibition capture key events from the 1980s, the fall of the Wall, and the subsequent radical changes in people’s lives. Jansson’s empathetic approach throws light on life in a divided Berlin, detailing the reactions to protests and resistance movements. The people who shaped these historical events are always in focus with their feelings. We can see what’s taking place by the expressions on their faces, be it fear, anger or joy.

The book Turns / Umbrüche: Those Years / Jene Jahre 1980-1995, Photographs by Ann-Christine Jansson, published by Berlin-based seltmann+söhne (ISBN 978-3-946688-48-8) is available during the exhibition. With texts by Dr. Heike Kanter, Pascal Thibaut and Peter Wensierski as well as an interview with the photographer Harald Hauswald and Ann-Christine Jansson conducted by Peter Wensierski.
