Thirty years after German reunification the experiences of women and lesbian groups in the GDR are still largely unknown, a blank space both in the narratives of the Cold War and in an all-German account of women. Starting from her own East German biography, born in 1982 in the former GDR, the artist engages with the often forgotten activities of non-state women and lesbian groups and of queer people in the GDR of the 1980s and 1990s. The work lights up the layered relation between past and present, between truth and fiction, between the private and the public, and addresses at the same time strategies of feminist self-empowerment and practices of resistance.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
