Beschreibung:
As a young photographer Maria Sewcz created a series of radical photographs of Berlin s east side. The Reichstag,
Rathaus, Alexanderplatz, Thälmann Memorial and the border with the west marked the limits of her urban topography.
Made from 1985 to 1987, these bold images capture a cold and irreconcilable rage with the status quo at this period
of transition. inter esse is a Berlin tale in which recent German history finds expression. Expressed in dynamic
movements through constant changes of perspective, the story has no interest in subordinating one individual s
perception to so-called historical necessities .
Maria Sewcz, born in 1960 and raised in Northern Germany, submitted the portfolio inter esse as her thesis at the
Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig in 1987.
