Travelling through the history of the GDR: photos by Ulrich Wüst in Melbourne

Photo 2024 will take place in Melbourne and Victoria from 1 to 24 March. Several German artists are taking part this year, including Ulrich Wüst. Born in Magdeburg in 1949, Wüst has become known for his photos documenting the transformation of architecture in the GDR and beyond. A selection of these can be seen in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut at the RMIT Gallery in Melbourne from 29 February to 20 April. We spoke to the curator of the exhibition, Matthias Flügge.
