Ostkreuz

In the spring of 1990, seven East German photographers decided to start an agency for the purpose of bracing themselves for the political, economic and aesthetic challenges of a new era. They called themselves Ostkreuz, after the bustling subway station in Berlin. This portfolio includes broadsheet images from the 20 members; a booklet tells the story of Ostkreuz with photographs by Sibylle Bergemann, Harald Hauswald and others.
