Ostkreuz is the name of the largest and most important metro station in East Berlin. Fifteen years ago, seven photographers from East Germany founded an agency with the same name. Its goal then was to produce works with a critical view of the situation in the German Democratic Republic. Years later, Ostkreuz, the agency, is now a highly successful supplier of serial reportages and one-off photo-essays that grace the pages of German and international newspapers and magazines. Its membership has expanded to seventeen photographers, with the youngest members in their early twenties and on the threshold of their careers, while the oldest are over sixty and internationally renowned. Now an established and highly regarded institution, Ostkreuz takes pride in its adherence to the authorship principle that affords each photographer individual creative freedom.
In 2005, in celebration of its fifteenth anniversary, OSTKREUZ put together a special exhibit: “Images of Germany” is an examination of present-day Germany. Much has changed in German society over the past twenty years, and very often it is the small things in life that illuminate these changes. The eight photographic sequences featured in the exhibit examine these changes by highlighting the concept of native identity or homeland both as a geographical, social and political determinant, and also as an expression of sentiments and yearnings.
The exhibit features works by Thomas Meyer, Jordis Antonia Schlösser, Anne Schönhartig, Sibylle Bergemann, Linn Schröder, Annette Hauschild, Ute Mahler and Wolfgang Bellwinkel.
