A groundbreaking examination of post-war photography in East and
West Germany This ambitious publication is the first book to
thoroughly evaluate the photography that emerged during Germany's
geopolitical division from the 1950s to the 1980s. With richly
illustrated and exhaustively researched analyses of photographic
projects from East and West Germany, including exhibitions,
photo-essays, private archives, and photo-books, Common Ground
constructs a comparative perspective, examining how sequence,
seriality, and repetition were mobilized to produce forms of
solidarity and political agency. Author Sarah James places German
postwar photography in the context of Soviet, American, and
European photographic developments; the specific cultural
experiences of the Cold War; and the shifting politics of German
identity. By reconsidering the relationship between divergent
cultures of the pre-war Weimar period and the Cold War era, Common
Ground prompts new readings of major figures such as Bernd and
Hilla Becher, Karl Blossfeldt, and August Sander, as well as
historically neglected figures such as Karl Pawek, Evelyn Richter,
and Rudolf Schafer. The result is a groundbreaking study of the
political and pedagogical functions of documentary photography.
