GDR

A century before 3D televisions and virtual reality appeared on the scene, a Berlin invention offered people an immersive experience of distant places and current events at affordable prices.

This exclusive online photo exhibition showcases the work of Berlin photographer Leonore Schwarzer and her ability to capture the life of East Berliners in multifaceted images.

Through her border crossings between East and West, Eva Kemlein became one of the most important post-war photographers. Her photographs document a city in ruins, the early stages of post-war life and the theatre life of the stages in both East and West Berlin.
