Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. From the various perspectives possible, the book focuses on how, in an authoritarian state relying on the physical constraints of the body (denial of the individual in favor of 'the people', confinement within G.D.R. borders, normativity bodies regarded as tools of production and vectors of ideology, constant Stasi surveillance), photography was a medium where the individual asserts, resists and expresses its freedom. This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Restless Bodies: East German Photography 1980-89, curated by Sonia Voss, at the Rencontres internationales de la photographie in Arles, 1 July-22 September, 2019.
